I've scheduled our first Dr's appt for March 9, 2010 at 11:00 am. I'm feeling very excited and getting used to the idea of being pregnant. I'm still very tired and a little nauseous, but not sick. I'm forgetting things like crazy. I bought two shampoos at the store. I forget things all the time. "Baby Brain" is not an old wives tale. It's pretty frustrating for someone like me, who is used to being on top of things all the time. I came home with 2 shampoos the other day. Hopefully this won't last long!
Week 5: Apple Seed
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!
