Week 5 - Apple Seed


Well poppy seed...we're ditching you for the apple seed (and/or tadpole...)!!!

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!



And speaking of symptoms...not much yet! I have been having cramps since before we found out. Oh yah, and I pee every 45 minutes...or less. It's a bit rediculous, but nothing unbearable. That's it for now! Coming up next...sweet pea, woo hoo!
