Week 5 — Appleseed! Your embryo (looking kind of like a tadpole) is starting to form major organs (heart, kidney, liver, stomach) and systems (nervous, circulatory, digestive). Baby's presence in your uterus triggers production of hCG (the hormone detected by pregnancy tests)... which triggers production of other hormones like estrogen and progesterone... which trigger all those great symptoms you've probably been noticing!My body is in shock LOL! Having just birthed a baby almost a year ago, I think my body is all to familiar with these hormones, etc, and has decided that I need to look preggers ALREADY! I am going to be NEEDING to be bringing my mat clothes up from the crawlspace this weekend and see what I have in the just-pregnant-but-not-comfortable-wearing-regular-clothes-and-feeling-really-bloated clothes. AKA something stretchy and forgiving!
Feeling really good though, just sleepy at times, which I felt normally before with the two running (and crawling) around! No morning sickness, so hopefully that stays away. Far far away.
Counting down before I can tell the WHOLE family the good news — I don't like secrets :P
Yes, can't wait for you to spill the beans too! It's hard to hold onto a fabulous secret!
