This was fun - i put a picture of Grady and me together to see what our kid will look like:

I just talked with the doctors office and according to their ‘over-the-phone’ diagnostic today i am 5 weeks and 4 days along!

My due date is sometime in October, one website says Oct 9, the other Oct 14. Until i go to the doctor of course i wont have a date.. .just going by websites.

Yippee!

Here is what is going on with me and the baby right now:

Our Baby

This is a week of crucial wiring when the placenta and umbilical cord hook up to Mom. Your baby’s heart–about the size of a poppy seed–starts beating.

Did you just miss your period? If so, it’s time to break out that home pregnancy test. Those telltale levels of the pregnancy hormone, Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG), are most likely high enough now to detect in your urine.

You may also begin feeling some of the classic symptoms of early pregnancy: fatigue, sore (enlarged) breasts, aching back, nausea, and mood swings. Take it easy on yourself; make sure you get enough rest, continue to eat healthy, and take your prenatal vitamins. Your body is working overtime to help your baby develop, so it’s time for some VIP treatment.
