Week #6

  
The news has sunken in... I am pregnant. At six weeks, my pregnancy is still new and at times I'm a little nervous. Add that to some pretty uncomfortable early pregnancy symptoms which I have been pretty lucky to have not experienced many yet. What’s amazing to know is that of many of the crucial areas of the babies development have already started at 6 weeks including circulating blood and sprouting eyes. Now that I'm really pregnant, I have a million questions on my mind all day. Luckily, I have been smart enough to write them down so I can ask my OB at my first prenatal visit. 

Your baby's the size of a sweet pea!

The average embryo at week 6 is about .25 inches and will double in size again next week. 
Wow!

                                                 

Your baby at 6 weeks:

• Obviously, she's growing like crazy!
• She's also circulating blood with her increasingly more sophisticated circulatory sytem.
• She's about to get cuter too, since she's starting to sprout a nose, eyes, ears, chin and cheeks.
• And she might even be wiggling her (paddle-like) hands and feet.

                                                       

How far along? 6 weeks, and 5 days.

Best moment this week: Scheduling my first pre-natal doctor's appointment. I asked my dear friends the Mendez family, who I used to nanny for who was the best doctor available. She made a recommendation and scheduled me an appointment on the spot with her OBGYN. Here is her website I can't wait to meet you Dr. Sonnie. http://www.womensspecialcare.com/
