So I went to the doctor on Friday for the first time and he put me at 5 weeks and 2 days. Yesterday, Wednesday, marked 6 weeks.
This week's major developments (according to Babycenter.com):
The nose, mouth, and ears that you'll spend so much time kissing in eight months are beginning to take shape. If you could see into your uterus, you'd find an oversize head and dark spots where your baby's eyes and nostrils are starting to form. His emerging ears are marked by small depressions on the sides of the head, and his arms and legs by protruding buds. His heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute -- almost twice as fast as yours -- and blood is beginning to course through his body. His intestines are developing, and the bud of tissue that will give rise to his lungs has appeared. His pituitary gland is forming, as are the rest of his brain, muscles, and bones. Right now, your baby is a quarter of an inch long, about the size of a lentil bean.
Dr. Green said that everything looked normal and that I definitely was pregnant. He said that 6 weeks brings a lot of painful symptoms like ab cramping and morning sickness. I haven't had much symptoms except frequent urination so we'll see how it goes....
