Week 6

Dear Baby,

I saw you for the first time last week, so tiny, not even the size of my little finger nail. You look like a tiny jelly bean at the moment and only measure around the 4mm mark. 4mm may not sound like a lot but when I consider that you have grown from something so much smaller then the naked eye could see to something about the size of a grain of rice in only about four weeks then I am amazed. When I stop and think of how much growing you have to do and of how quickly it happens I really am amazed by what the human body can do.

The Doctor at the scan told me that everything looks just fine, you have implanted in the right position the yolk sac which nourshes you as the placenta is forming is there and of course there is the foetal pole which is you, you just haven't formed a recognizable human shape yet but it won't be long until you do.

As for me my hormones are all over the place sometimes I am overly happy while other times I feel sad for no reason at all or feel grumpy and less tolerant of things that usualy don't bother me. My 'morning sickness' has changed from a sometimes thing to an almost constant feeling of nasuea and occassional vomiting. I am tired a lot of the time and so am just spending my days taking it easy, getting pleanty of rest and eating when I cam stomach food. I have lost almost 2kg of weight in the last two weeks though thats not surprising considering how sick I have been.
