Today was awesome! I was nervous and prepared for almost anything that we might see on the ultrasound, but I was hoping for the best. And we got it. Our doctor said that the placenta, gestational sac, and fetal pole are exactly as they should be. They are all the right size and in the right place. WOO-HOO! I cannot be happier than we are today. God it great!
My twin sister is so cool! She decided to surprise me and show up at my doctors appointment. She's just as excited about this baby as we are and cannot wait to be an aunt. Yes, she is the silly photographer and will probably be at most of my appointments documenting the good news as we go along!
WEEK 5 "The changes to your growing embryo are not quite as drastic this week as they've been in the last few weeks. Growth is now largely focused on their little head, which is starting to develop much more rapidly than the rest of their tiny body. This is because their amazing brain is undergoing some very crucial and rapid development in order to effectively regulate their heart rate, blood circulation, and other vital functions. As for the rest of their miniature body, what were simple limb buds last week are limb flippers this week and the tail is more expressed. Amazingly, within a mere five weeks your little miracle is already developing the rudimentary forms of their liver, pancreas, lungs, stomach and nasal pits while their little heart is already increasing its circulation. Your baby is now a whopping 4-6mm in length."
