Week 6

Dear Sweet Pea,

Today I am 5 weeks along. You are now about the size of an apple seed (2-4mm). Your head is now distinctly formed and your eyes and ears are beginning to develop. Limb buds, kidneys, liver, nerve cells, and tooth buds are forming. Your blood circulation has begun, and your neural tube has closed over (thanks to all that folic acid)!

I have been feeling pretty good over the past few days, and haven't been noticing any cramping or as much fatigue as I was during the weekend. Maybe that's because I forgot to bring my vitamins with me when we went away for Thanksgiving! Later today I will go back to the walk-in clinic for my prenatal physical, and in two weeks we will meet our midwife!
