Baby's Size of: A sesame seed
Total weight gain: 1 lb (I assume water weight from all the hormones)
Sleep: Sleeping fine. Going to bed earlier, though!
Best moment of last week: Getting a positive beta then a doubled beta!
Miss anything: Feta cheese, sudafed (saline spray just doesn't cut it for a cold!)
Food cravings: Nothing... I have to force myself to eat
Anything making you queasy or sick: Grilled chicken, peanut butter
Looking forward to: Ultrasound on the 15th
Other milestones: Got some ginger gum and jolly ranchers which are helping with queasiness.
By week 5 in your pregnancy, your baby is growing rapidly. By the end of the fifth week, it looks like a tadpole, tail included, and is about the size of an orange seed or 1 – 5 mm in length. During this week, your baby’s vital organs are growing; the heart, central nervous system, bones, and muscles are forming quickly from this point on. Plus, the skeleton begins to take shape. Your baby’s heart is quickly developing, as it begins to separate into four chambers and starts pumping blood. Some ultrasounds will be able to pick up on the heartbeat as early as five weeks. The neural tube, which eventually becomes the brain and spinal cord, begins to form. The placenta develops, and through the placenta and umbilical cord, your baby receives nourishment. The eyes, ears, nose, mouth, fingers, and toes also begin to show (Source).
