5 Weeks!

Baby is 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!

So far I haven't gotten sick again but have been feeling nauseated all day long. I'm also exhausted all the time and take a lot of naps. Zach probably doesn't think this is any different than any other day but honestly it is because I feel like I need one everyday. When I wasn't pregnant I didn't feel like I needed a nap, I just enjoyed them.

We are going out for a friend's birthday tonight. Hopefully most people will just fall for the "I'm on an antibiotic and I can't drink" line. We'll see.

Have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
