December 24, 2014
Today I am 5 weeks pregnant. It is also Christmas Eve. My life is very hectic right now. I have to wrap all of Maci's presents tonight. She is so excited. I think she is currently more excited about her new presents than her baby brother or sister.
Today's Symptoms -
Nauseated
Fatigued
Breast Pain
Today I Feel -
Excited (for Christmas)
Nervous (about my upcoming ultrasound)
Anxious
What's Happening With Baby This Week -
Baby is the size of a sesame seed
Baby looks more like a tadpole than a tiny human right now
Baby is now made up of three layers - the ectoderm, the mesoderm and the endoderm - which will later form all of his/her organs and tissues
The neural tube - which your baby's brain, spinal cord, nerves and backbone will sprout - is starting to develop in the top layer, called the ectoderm.
This layer will also give rise to his/her skin, hair, nails, mammary and sweat glands, and tooth enamel.
The heart and circulatory system start to form in the mesoderm.
This week his/her heart divides in to it's chambers and begins to beat and pump blood.
Other High Points -
2 HCG Levels Reported (55.9 & 107.9)
1 Progesterone level reported (10)
7 Prometrium Pills Taken
7 81MG Aspirin Taken
1 Coffee Drank
1 Name Decided On
Baby is the size of an sesame seed this week.
