5w 6d...

Well.... as of tomorrow I have known about my pregnancy for two full weeks. I am so incredibly happy to have made it thorough this past week. Our last pregnancy never measured out of the 5w4d-5w6d range. I have a good feeling about this one though. Maybe after I see the heartbeat I'll start doing some belly pics... as scary as that is.

I haven't quite figured how whether I am finishing the 6th week today or starting the 6th week tomorrow... every site I look it up on has a different opinion. Well here is some info about what happens during the 6th week with our little one.

Your pregnancy: 6 weeks

How your baby's growing: This week's major developments: The nose, mouth, and ears that you'll spend so much time kissing in eight months are beginning to take shape. If you could see into your uterus, you'd find an oversize head and dark spots where your baby's eyes and nostrils are starting to form. His emerging ears are marked by small depressions on the sides of the head, and his arms and legs by protruding buds. His heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute — almost twice as fast as yours — and blood is beginning to course through his body. His intestines are developing, and the bud of tissue that will give rise to his lungs has appeared. His pituitary gland is forming, as are the rest of his brain, muscles, and bones. Right now, your baby is a quarter of an inch long, about the size of a lentil bean.
