Jack-Jack Has Joined The Flipper Club!

Today is the first day of my 5th week. Jack-Jack now has flippers! I'm sure he's as cute as an embryo with flippers could possibly be. I still have absolutely no symptoms of being pregnant other then I go to bed a lot earlier and a few days ago I was really tired. Oh, and today my breasteses (lol) are killing me. I have no morning sickness at all! I feel so "not" pregnant that I took another test just to make sure. LOL I got the same fast result. I can't get into the doc until next month but that's okay, I'm not in a hurry for him to b*tch about how much weight I've gained since the last time he saw me. And believe me, he won't hesitate to open his mouth.




Fetal development in pregnancy week 5:embryo in second month The changes to your growing embryo are not quite as drastic this week as they've been in the last few weeks. Growth is now largely focused on their little head, which is starting to develop much more rapidly than the rest of their tiny body. This is because their amazing brain is undergoing some very crucial and rapid development in order to effectively regulate their heart rate, blood circulation, and other vital functions. As for the rest of their miniature body, what were simple limb buds last week are limb flippers this week and the tail is more expressed. Amazingly, within a mere five weeks your little miracle is already developing the rudimentary forms of their liver, pancreas, lungs, stomach and nasal pits while their little heart is already increasing its circulation. Your baby is now a whopping 4-6mm in length.
