Six Weeks!

By week 6, your baby's brain and nervous system are developing at a rapid pace. The larynx starts to form as does the inner ear. Optic vesicles, which later form the eyes, begin to develop this week on the side of the head, as do the passageways that will make up the inner ear. The head and tail of the embryo are formed, limb buds are present, and basic facial features begin to appear.

Your baby's heart will begin to beat around this time, and the earliest forms of the digestive and respiratory systems appear.

Because their legs are curled up against the torso for much of the pregnancy, making a full-length measurement difficult, babies often are measured from the crown to rump rather than from head to toe. In week 6 of pregnancy, your baby is 0.08 to 0.2 inches from crown to rump.

While a lot may be going on for baby, I personally feel pretty good. The desire to sleep 20 hours a day has set in, but I am fairing pretty well without that much sleep. My appetite is still hit and miss, and I've found out rather quickly that spicy things are something my body has developed a dislike of. Overall I feel pretty good, and I cannot complain about the little things, because I will take them!

Our first ultrasound is on Friday, which will be 6 weeks and 2 days along. I am hoping we'll get to see a heartbeat! This is just a quick ultrasound to confirm placement and heartbeat, but I am still anxious. :)
