7 Weeks

Yesterday marked my  7th week of being pregnant. I wish I could say the time is flying but it really isn't.

Well, my baby's hands and feet are emerging from developing arms and legs - although they look more like paddles at this point than the tiny, pudgy extremities I'm daydreaming about holding and tickling. My baby is still technically considered an embryo and has something of a small tail, which is an extension of his/her tailbone. The tail will disappear within a few weeks, however its the only thing getting smaller. Everything else doubled in size since last week and now measures half an inch, about the size of a blueberry.

I'm still feeling great, the constipation has backed off, thank God, because that was painful, however I think it will be back. I'm guessing the grapefruit juice I'm drinking every morning is helping so I'm just going to stick with that for now. I have been peeing a lot! Last night at Los Aztecaz, I think I was in the bathroom at least 5 times in the hour and a half I was there. But I did have at least 3 glasses of water but wow, that's a lot of bathroom trips in one evening.

I haven't had an nausea yet, I'm hoping this will pass me right by, but I have a feeling I'm might not be so lucky, but time will tell.

I have been pretty hungry lately and I think it's starting to catch up with me, I really need to be cautious about what I put in my mouth. But everything I think I'm hungry for, I'm not, if that makes any sense. I will be hungry for something but after I eat whatever it is, I don't feel satisfied. Now at lunch today, I had a bacon cheeseburger from A&W and wow, it was so good and I feel satisfied and stuffed! LOL

Next week is the big ultrasound day, I'm getting nervous but excited at the same time. And Tuesday is supposed to be my last day of my Progesterone shot so I'm super excited about that. I think Wednesday after our U/S Tom and I are going to treat ourselves to massages. I'm not sure yet if I can get the rest of the afternoon off but if not we'll do something special that night. Next week is going to be so exciting!
