So the past week has been horrible!!! Morning sickness all day and all night! Nothing seems to help. I am out of breath and tired all the time. Even though I feel like crap 98% of the time, I can't help but to be happy knowing our baby is doing good! They say morning sickness is a good sign in pregnancy! It's crazy to see how my eating habits have done a 360. I usually like spice food, Thai food, Italian food and the thought of these makes me gag!!! Right now, I only eat banana's, toast, apples, water, ice cream, milk and yogurt. AND the one food that I crave is french fries!! I have been eating french fries almost everyday! My stomach isn't the only thing that will get big!
I have experienced spotting the last couple of days. I was a little panicked at first but got confirmation that it was old blood and nothing to worry about. The doctor told me if I experience dark red or pink spotting and severe cramping then I need to come in for a checkup.
Our baby is now 5/8 of an inch long, about the size of a kidney bean. Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from the baby's hands and feet, his/her eyelids practically cover the eyes, breathing tubes extend from its throat to the branches of its developing lungs, and the "tail" is just about gone. The arms have lengthened, too, and the hands are now flexed at the wrist and meet over the heart. Its knee joints have formed, and the feet may be long enough to meet in front of the body. In his/her brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways.
We learned today that our baby can bend its knees and elbows!!
