7 weeks

We entered our 7th week today.  Baby's neural tube has closed and now the brain is the main attraction.  Soon this organ will divide into the forebrain,. which will help our baby solve puzzles and hold onto memories; the midbrain, which directs electrical impulses and the hindbrain, which makes sure that breathing and muscle movement happen according to plan.  There's a second major breakthrough this week: limbs.  Well technically they are just buds at this point, but now that the arms and legs have sprouted, they'll grow  quickly.  Before long the brain and limbs will start communicating. 
Measured at 28 and 1/2 inches today which means last measurement was pure bloat from dinner!! Symptoms have been changing daily.  Some days I am starving and cant eat meals fast enough, others I'm less hungry and more nauseous but haven't been sick, knock on wood! I have been using my energy whenever I have it because most of the time I am exhausted.  If I eat to much in a meal I go into a coma state!! I have been doing prenatal work outs, my goal is to stick with them all nine months to ease with delivery.  Other than that everything is great! We are just looking forward to our first ultrasound appointment next month.
