6w2d - Yeap - you guessed it. This week baby T. has grown to be the size of a sweet pea! (according to thebump.com!) I can't wait till I get to see him/her on Thursday and see for myself! We are hoping we get to see a heartbeat by then too! If all goes well and we get good news - we may start to tell family this weekend! I also found out that our baby is starting to sprout eyes, ears, nose, cheeks and chin (written like a true gardener! Grow Baby Grow!) Those little hands and feet- still webbed like paddles- might wiggle by week's end, the heart is beating (almost twice as fast as mine!), and blood is starting to circulate.
As far as symptoms - just the same old stuff now. Sore bbs, gagging when I brush my teeth, being tired all the time, really nothing new to report. Except for the fact my mom told me yesterday I looked like a blow toad! I really didn't feel good at all yesterday, but I must really be swollen up pretty bad for her to say that. I do feel 'puffy' but haven't put on any pounds. I guess that's probably from all the excess gas I'm now carrying around!!!
However, I did have quite a scare on Friday night! I had a gush of blood - passed a clot - and then it was all over with. I guess it could have been a million things - but I'm going to hold my breath that everything is still okay and it was just a fluke. Some research suggests that when the placenta grows into a blood vessel, this can occur. Everything since then has been normal.
