Week 6: Bending Over Forward
Practitioners measure embryos as small as yours from precious little crown to cute little rump. That's because as your baby grows, his or her legs will be bent, making it hard to measure the full length of the body. This week your baby's crown-to-rump measurement is anywhere from a fifth to a quarter of an inch, and growing — making it the size of a sweet pea (your little sweet pea!).

So, if your womb had a view, what would you see? The folds of tissue in the prominent bump on top (the head) are developing into your baby's jaws, cheeks, and chin. And are those little indentations on both sides of the head the adorable dimples you always hoped your baby would inherit from your mom's side of the family? No, they're ear canals in the making. Small bumps on the face will form the eyes and button nose in a few weeks time. Also taking shape this week: your baby's kidneys, liver, and lungs.

I had a real strange dream that woke me up this morning. I can't shake it and I didn't like it. I actually was crying in my dream... in it I told my mom that I was pregnant and when I was expecting and she got really upset with me, telling me that she had 7 people to choose birth dates from and the next person after the 7 birthdays she chose told her she was pregnant, she (my mom) would have to get married that month. Or something.

Makes no fucking sense at all but she was SO upset with me for being pregnant and for being due in March. She was SO upset and wouldn't stop yelling at me and giving me dirty looks.

WTF?

No, we haven't told anyone in real life about our little sweet pea.

In other news, I'm still feeling fine with the exception of my boobs. They hurt all the time. And god forbid I rub my naked nipple against a shirt or something! Yowzers. But!!! I'm NOT complaining, I'm just saying.

One week today we go to the doctor and will hopefully see the heartbeat! :)
