We are ending the 6th week. So far I feel the same; lots of fatigue, (naps to go along with the fatigue) nausea and bloating. I feel like my clothes are fitting just a little bit tighter, but nothing noticeable just yet. Alfonso doesn't see much of a change with my body, but I feel like I am just a bit bigger. I've been trying to exercise, but I've exercised only once this week because I've been so tired. It doesn't help that I also had two tests this week, and three assignments due for my classes at school. We went ring shopping for the second time on Tuesday. I chose a ring that I like, but the final product won't be in until next week (they are ordering it from another store) so we aren't sure until then. Here are the developmental updates for week #6:
The arms and legs continue to develop - These limbs are stretching out more and more. Later on you will be feeling those feet and elbows up close and personal right in your bladder!
Brain is growing well - Did you know that over the course of the remaining months that your baby's brain will develop over 100 billion neurons? This is just the beginning!
Lenses of the eyes appear - If you could catch a glimpse inside, you would notice your baby's appearance becoming increasing like a newborn's.
Nostrils are formed - The position of the nose seems to shift into its proper place as well. Soon, the nerves running from the nose to the brain appear.
Intestines grow - Initially these are actually located outside the baby's body within the umbilical cord.
Pancreas - Your baby is now equipped to deal with digestive enzymes and take on processing the insulin and glucagons the body needs to function.
Love, Becky
