Welcome back to another edition of Baby Watch where we are now into week six. This week hasn’t been all that different then last week or the week before other then Erin seems to be getting more and more tired. This in turn is leading me to feel more and more tired, and the dogs to feel about the same as they usually do. But otherwise it has been an uneventful week around here. Still no morning sickness to speak of, although everything Erin has read and heard indicates it could be coming right around the corner. I personally hope that she is spared, and by “she” I really mean “us” because while it will be “her” that is puking her guts out it will be “us” who pays the price for it.
In terms of what the baby website says it is now apparently OK to call it an embryo although I think I am going to just stick with baby. Other possibilities include pea-pod, worm, ityy bitty, or dude/dude-et. But embryo makes me think she is fixin’ to lay a chicken egg. The site also says you could clearly see it on an ultrasound now as it should be around 1/8 of an inch long, or about the size of a grain of rice. It goes on to say that the nervous system and major organs such as heart, liver, kidneys, lungs, are the first to form. Current heartbeat is around 80 beats per minute, or the same as mine every time I think about what is about to happen in a few short months. See ya next week!
PS – Thank you to everyone who left comments on last weeks update. It is nice to see that people are reading this and even nicer that they take the time to comment. We both really enjoy reading them very much, so thank you!
