Week 5!

My sweet little Babe,

You are the size of an appleseed this week. You gave Momma quite the scare the week with some spotting but it's stopped now. Could you please keep the scares to a minimum of let's say no more until your at least out of the womb. I'm still on edge about losing you. You are so loved and wanted and we just pray for your safety everyday, everyday that goes by brings us one day closer to meeting you which we so badly want to do. I'm still not feeling any changes really besides being tired 24/7 it seems. I hope that your doing good in there and growing like crazy. We love so very much!

Love,

Momma

This is what's happening with you!
Baby's now the size of an appleseed!
Your embryo, which doesn't look like much more than a tadpole right now, is actually 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 the production of other hormones like estrogen and progesterone, which triggers all those great symptoms you've probably been noticing!(Momma isn't having too many symptoms)
