The blueberry: 7 weeks

Baby's brain -- both hemispheres! -- is growing fast, generating about 100 new cells every minute. Arms and legs are emerging as joints start to form, and a permanent set of kidneys (baby's third!) is now in place.

Momma Check-in

How far along? 7 weeks

How big is baby? About the size of a blueberry

Weight: 105...same as before

Health: Cramps have almost completely gone away and that's great. But the morning sickness seems to be getting a little worse. From 9am to 1 pm, I feel like I'm DYING! I'm still getting some migraines, but I bumped up my preventative vitamins so that might help.

Maternity Clothes: Still none, but I look a little just for fun. My tight clothes are starting to get a little tight and I need to find a couple new pairs of jeans for the next few months.

Sleep: I'm going to bed between 8:30 and 9:00 on most days and it's difficult to stay away at work sometimes. But I also wake up about 1/2 hour earlier than I need to, so I just get up and get into work early.

Best Moment This Week: We saw the little flicker of the heartbeat!

Movement: none

Planning/Preparation: I feel anxious that there's so much stuff I need to do to prepare. Right now, I'm trying to start getting the craft room finished up so I can clear out the baby room.

Belly Button In/Out: The whole belly button thing is starting to scare me. And do I just take out my belly button ring? Or do I get one of those stretchy ones?

What I Miss: Having more energy and getting things done

What I'm Looking Forward To: my next ultrasound

Contractions: obviously none

Next Appointment: Monday, June 28 is my last appointment at the fertility clinic
