So I have made it 5 full weeks :) No picture this week we are doing the every other week so that maybe we can actually watch for a bump. Making it five full weeks means I'm starting week 6 tomorrow. Last week I was starving this week my appetite feels more normal. No morning sickness yet but I'm not getting excited yet, I know it can strike at any time.
This week the neural tube that began forming last week is starting to close over what will soon become baby's spinal cord. Bean still resembles a tadpole however folds of tissues are developing that will eventually become baby's chin, cheeks, and jaw. Eye buds are forming, and there's even a tiny bump that will turn into a nose. Other tubes are making progress too. The heart tube is growing into four primitive chambers and is beating like a drum. Lungs tubes are turning into pouches.
To stay healthy we have ordered a dvd set, one for each trimester and one for after baby. Each trimester has yoga, cardio, and toning. It'll be good to have a set list of things I can and can't do each trimester instead of worrying if the exercise I'm doing is harmful. I have been eating healthier too, since I'm snacking more often I have made sure to have plenty of fruit and vegetables in the house for quick sacks.
I have my first Dr. appointment on Thursday where they will do lab work and get family history. I'll update after my appt. :) Have a good week everyone :)
