Well as the title suggests, i'm 5 weeks today. According to one of the pregnancy calendars, our baby looks something like this at the moment:
Its been just over a week since we got our positive result and its starting to sink in now. It feels so weird to think, i'm pregnant and in 35 weeks (ish) i'll have my own baby, a small piece of me and my boyfriend together, something that we've made. We've decided to call the baby our little cakies for the moment as not to keep on just calling it a bean. According to what i've read, our tiny cakies is about 2 mm long at the moment. Week 6 (1st March):
Well this week we've told our parents and siblings. We considered keeping it to ourselves until the 12 week mark but decided that if anything happens we'd rather have their support. Everyone is absolutely over the moon, all very surprised but hey, thats not a bad thing. Weirdly when we told my boyfriends mum she told us about something that had happened at work that week: She had a set of booties on her desk to give to someone and a colleague asked her if she had something to tell them, to which she replied with "i know i look pregnant, but I'm not, if anything I'll be a grandmother soon". Ha ha ha! Little did she know.
Overall i've been feeling fine, not really any different to be honest. No morning sickness or anything.
Week 7 (08 March):
Well it was a long week with everything thats been happening at work - redundancies unfortunately. My job had been made redundant although i have been offered another position within the company thankfully!
Overall i've felt quite tired this week and a couple of days i came home from work and had a nap which made me feel much better. I also got my scan date through this week, its on the 15th April at 2:50pm. Yey! I'll be 12 weeks and 3 days by then.
Baby wise: At the beginning of this week, the baby is approximately 4 to 5 mm and by the end of the week it has more than doubled to 11 to 13 mm and weights approximately 0.03 ounces. awww! so tiny! Our baby's leg and arm buds are longer now and they have divided into segments where the hands and feet will be. The hands and feet also have an area where the fingers and toes will begin to form. At this point of your pregnancy, the heart is bulging from the body and it has divided into right and left chambers. So much development already!
Week 8 (15th March):
Well week 8 and i've never felt so tired in my life! Out of 5 work days last week, 4 of them i came home and had a nap, the other one i was in bed by 9pm as i couldn't keep my eyes open.
This week our baby is about the size of a pinto bean and is approximately 12-20mm long and weighs about 1g. Our babies fingers and toes are now present although they may still be webbed at the moment. Week 9 (22nd March):
Well this week has been a total blur to me, i started a new job but have still been tying up lose ends from my old job at the same time. This week has been fab though, i went for a gorgeous meal with the girlies i used to work with which made a really nice change.
Saturday i spent the day with my mum and sister as they came over to visit me, kinda like an early mothers day. We went and had Frankie and Bennys for lunch, then went to the cinema to see Confessions of a shopoholic (not all that good but my mum really enjoyed it). Then randomly we went through the car wash which my mum was super excited about as she hadn't been through one before, weird i know!!
Our little cakies is about the size of a medium green olive now. The crow-to-rump length is 20 mm weighs about 2 grams. He/she is also starting to move although i wont be able to feel it yet.
