January it is

There it is, our little peanut! I am 6 weeks, 5 days along. My due date is January 29, 2009. That means I found out at 3 weeks. I REALLY don't understand how women don't know they are pregnant. My body freaks out and says "Intruder!"

Here is the development level: It all happens so quickly, and during these two weeks, a lot will happen in the growth of your baby. The heart begins to beat, brain and nervous system begin to grow rapidly, and arms and legs begin to grow. Facial features, including eyes, also start to form as early as the 6th and 7th week.

There was a little scare at first because they weren't able to see much, so we had to have an internal ultrasound; these are the funnest things ever - I swear! I tried to calm myself saying that it could just be that I am not far enough along, but honestly, my heart was ready to break in two. Once they were able to see, everything did appear to be good, and I wasn't as far as they thought. Heartbeat was at 121 bpm and I was able to see little arm and leg buds (I've seen way too many ultrasounds in my day, can you tell?)

Right now we are just greatful for every day and I am trying to remember to just be positive and that worrying doesn't fix anything.
