Today is the day we will prove all the doubters wrong. I feel optomistic and know this baby will be fine (Ok feel a little nervous but that us expected). I feel pregant, yesturday I had several foot cramps, brst tenderness, feeling bloated...pants getting snug around the waist.
I am going to visit a church on my way before my appt. I know the Lord is listening and I have so many people praying for me that if it is in his plan then it will be.
By my mami found a picture of San Gerardo: Patron of pregnant mothers & children. I printed his image and have it next to my belly since last evening. That has made me feel calm. I have a big image I printed and I am going to take it to the room for u/s and put it under me.
5weeks and 6 days today: what is going on in there?
Deep in your uterus your embryo is growing at a furious pace. At this point, he's about the size of a sesame seed, and he looks more like a tiny tadpole than a human. He's now made up of three layers — the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm — which will later form all of his organs and tissues.
The neural tube — from which your baby's brain, spinal cord, nerves, and backbone will sprout — is starting to develop in the top layer, called the ectoderm. This layer will also give rise to his skin, hair, nails, mammary and sweat glands, and tooth enamel.
His heart and circulatory system begin to form in the middle layer, or mesoderm. (This week, in fact, his tiny heart begins to divide into chambers and beat and pump blood.) The mesoderm will also form your baby's muscles, cartilage, bone, and subcutaneous (under skin) tissue.
The third layer, or endoderm, will house his lungs, intestines, and rudimentary urinary system, as well as his thyroid, liver, and pancreas. In the meantime, the primitive placenta and umbilical cord, which deliver nourishment and oxygen to your baby, are already on the job.
