Dear Baby,
Welcome to week 5!
It is October 16th and by my estimation you are five weeks (by gestation). I just found out today that you are on the way. I had waited testing all week. Imagine my surprise when those 2 line appeared!
You are now the size of an apple seed or sesame seed, but you look more like a tadpole. When I told your daddy this he said he was going to name you Kermit. I don’t think it will be the final choice once we pick your name, but it is fun to refer to you as “kermmie” right now.
Everything I have been reading says that weeks 5-8 are the most important developmental times during the first trimester. This week you are forming major organs like your heart, kidneys, liver, and stomach as well as your nervous system, circulatory system, and digestive systems. After I took the test yesterday I started eating my prenatal vitamins.
I haven’t noticed any obvious differences yet, but I definitely feel “different” I am making more trips to the bathroom that is for sure. All week I have been so tired. Twice I have fallen asleep before your Daddy has got home from work. I had to drive to Alpine on Friday before I tested and it was a very difficult drive. I felt really carsick and very tired.
Thanks for visiting my blog, looks like we are pretty close in our pregnancies. Glad to hear you’re feeling good so far. Excited for what’s ahead for both of us!
