6 weeks 1 day Pregnant

This week starts a period of rapid cellular development for your baby-to-be, who looks like a mini tadpole, with a tiny head and tail. His or her eyes, ears and mouth have begun to form.

Other exciting milestones include:

Your baby's heart is now beating to a regular beat, although it's still too faint to hear.

His or her arm buds are just beginning to bud. They look like teensy swollen bumps at this point. In a few days, they'll resemble itsy-bitsy flippers.

Your baby has grown to ⅛ inch long—about the size of one of the chocolate sprinkles on your last cupcake.

I am still feeling pretty good other than the exhaustion. Yesterday Joey and I went to the Seahawks game and by the end of the day I was beat. It probably didn't help that we walked from our friends Arnold and Jamie's place all the way from Capital Hill to the Stadium (about 3.5 miles each way)& back or the fact that are seats were way up there and I had to climb lots of stairs every time I went pee (which was quite often LOL). But we had a great time and I slept really good last night.

Nothing much else new except that we both told our parents the news last night after we got back from the game. I was trying to hold out a little longer BUT it is such great news so we finally spilled. And boy, I am glad we did. My dad and Paulette are super excited. This will be the 6th grandchild for Paulette and the 2nd for my dad.

Until next time....
