My Pregnancy: Week 5

Baby's now the size of an appleseed!
Your embryo (looking kind of like a tadpole) is 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 production of other hormones like estrogen and progesterone...which trigger all those great symptoms you've probably been noticing!

One week down only 35ish more to go!  This early stage of pregnancy just about drives me crazy because I know I'm pregnant, Jason knows I'm pregnant, but that's all.  So no one else understands why I am so tired and emotional.  Thankfully, that's pretty much been the extent of my symptoms so far!
