What's new in baby cooking this week

Pregnancy Week: 5

Detailed child info:
Weight: less than 0.01 oz
Length: 0.05-0.1 in
At this stage: The heart starts beating. Formed nervous coil and placenta. The embryo has a tail.

The life in woman's uterus develops just as it evolved on the Earth, only the pace is, let's say, strongly accelerated. From single-celled organism, through what with difficulty can be confused with fish or reptile, and until developing obviously mammalian and finally specifically human features. The fifth week is the period when the neural tube begins to form. Two thirds of its length will develop into brain, and the rest will become the spinal cord. This is an extremely important moment in the child's development. The mother should take folic acid to minimize the chance of neural tube defects in the child. You feel tired, sleepy, irritable, you can have some first pregnancy cravings. Your body switches to another mode.

Your notes
7/14/11---I am so tired. All I want to do is sleep. I want to eat everything too. I am soooo excited for the time when everything makes me puke. I am learning to adjust to things I need to avoid. Caffiene is the hardest. I am still very excited!
7/15/11---I am having strong cramps. i am terrified of them. there is no bleeding though and everywhere i have read says they are normal. i am anxious to go to the doctor on wednesday when i am five weeks and ask the doctor about them.
7/16/11-- This doesn't seem real. I keep thinking that I am going to wake up and it is not going to be true. What if I am imagining it? What if it just disappears?I think I have spent a small fortune on pregnancy tests. I keep thinking I imagined it all and taking more. It is so awesome watching the little pink line appear.
7/17/11-If I was wrong in my calculations then this is the last possible day my period should have started. No sign. I guess I am pregnant. I hit my first bought of nausea this morning. it wasn't too bad yet. It is going to be awful. But i had more energy this morning. Now I am crashing hard. It is going to be a long drive to see my friend Marie and her adorable daughter Adelae. Holy crap I am pregnant!
7/18/11- I am tired but today was pretty good. Physically I felt fine but emotionally I was really down. I think I need to be back on antidepressant. I am going to ask the doctor about it on Wednesday.
7/19/11- I am so excited to go to the doctor tommorrow and super anxious.  I wrote down a list of questions for him to answer.  I can't want.  Maybe it will make this all seem more real!
