Week 6 of Pregnancy

So this is my first blog and it's most likely going to suck, but here it goes.

I'm between 5 and 6 weeks pregnant and there are amazing things going on in my body. Our little nudger is growing so rapidly. This week the baby is developing it's jaw, lungs, nose and palate. Also the arm and leg buds that developed at week 3 or 4 have now become webbed. In other words our baby has webbed hands and feet, well webbed structures that will become fingers and toes. The baby's brain is continuing to form it's complex parts. And all of that is happening to a baby that is about 3/4 of an inch long.

I've been experiencing my first bouts of morning sickness this week. I haven't actually thrown up in the morning, but I've been really nauseated enough to avoiding eating until late morning. I also have to give up spicy salsa and stuff like that. Apparently spicy foods can really upset your stomach (as I found out on Saturday). Did you know that you are not supposed to take naps after eating when your pregnant? I didn't either!
