Week 7...little blueberry

Today I am seven weeks pregnant (ok, technically I was 7 weeks yesterday). I have had some morning/afernoon/nighttime sickness but it hasn't been as bad as it was with Carter. I am feeling really tired though. I did not want to get up and come to work this morning...but only 9 more days until I'm officially a stay-at-home mom!

Here is what's going on with Baby P this week (courtesy of http://www.babycenter.com/)
The big news this week: Hands and feet are emerging from developing arms and legs — although they look more like paddles at this point than the tiny, pudgy extremities you're daydreaming about holding and tickling. Technically, your baby is still considered an embryo and has something of a small tail, which is an extension of her tailbone. The tail will disappear within a few weeks, but that's the only thing getting smaller. Your baby has doubled in size since last week and now measures half an inch long, about the size of a blueberry.If you could see inside your womb, you'd spot eyelid folds partially covering her peepers, which already have some color, as well as the tip of her nose and tiny veins beneath parchment-thin skin. Both hemispheres of your baby's brain are growing, and her liver is churning out red blood cells until her bone marrow forms and takes over this role. She also has an appendix and a pancreas, which will eventually produce the hormone insulin to aid in digestion. A loop in your baby's growing intestines is bulging into her umbilical cord, which now has distinct blood vessels to carry oxygen and nutrients to and from her tiny body.

I just find that is absolutely amazing and miraculous just how God forms babies in the womb....how something so tiny and microscopic in size grows into a living, breathing baby. Thank you God that you are forming this baby exactly the way he/she is supposed to be. You are placing all of the babies parts in perfect order and everything will function just as you desire.
