Saying I started feeling yucky this past week is an under statement. I have felt hungover all week long and had a hard time deciding what I felt like eating. It truly feels like I have mono and it SUCKS. I am praying this only lasts a few weeks because I feel miserable.
I have tried drinking fizzy water, fizzy water with lime, sucking hard candies.... doesn't help. I fell asleep in the car on the way home last night at 6:30. I basically was only awake for 1/2 hour from then until 5 this morning. Right now, I feel pretty normal-I pray it lasts...
Poppy is now the size of a blueberry!
This week your baby's brain is growing at a mind-boggling 100 cells per minute within a see-through skull. If you could peer inside, you'd see those tiny brain cells growing and growing and growing (about as quickly as you feel like yours are shrinking and shrinking and shrinking with your "pregnancy brain"!). More high points include:
Your baby's face is becoming more defined this week. A tiny mouth hole (which will be ready to wail before you know it!), tongue, nostrils and ear indentations are visible. His or her eyes are wide open, but he doesn't have irises (the colored part) yet.
Baby's arm buds are growing. At this point they look more like microscopic ping-pong paddles than arms. Baby's leg buds are also forming and will look like tiny paddles by the end of the week.
The umbilical cord—the connection between your baby and the placenta—is now visible.
