6 Weeks Pregnant!!

Ok! I went through all of the previous posts and corrected the timeline on them!! I am NOW 6 weeks pregnant and going into my 7th week!!
This is what the baby looks like this week!!
I have my first prenantal appointment on the 17th (if I don't have to change it due to work) and my 2nd u/s on the 24th!! I will be 8 weeks on the day of the u/s so there should definately be a heartbeat visible! So I am very excited about that!!

Some interresting things going on with Baby Whitten this week are:

*Elbows form - Again, taking a peek inside you could see your baby's fascination with bending and flexing.
*Fingers start to develop - These digits often become your baby's first toy!
*Feet start to appear with tiny notches for the toes - It is fascinating that at less than a half inch, your little guy (or gal) already is leaving "footprints" on your heart!
*Ears eyes and nose start to appear - Although they may resemble an alien life form, these all "shift" soon enough into a more normal appearance.
*Intestines start to form in the umbilical cord - Did you know that initially the intestines are not formed inside your baby's body?
*Teeth begin to develop under the gums

I'll get a new belly picture up tomorrow night, hopefully before dinner so I don't look so huge!!


We had the briefing for Thomas' deployment last night! As tough as it is to realize that my husband is about to go to war for up to 6 months, I know that he is doing a great thing by serving our country! I couldn't be prouder to send him over there knowing what a difference he and his unit make for those people and our people!! I truely am blessed to have such a courageous, brave, Godly husband that is willing to serve his country and his God in this way! Please continue to keep all the men and women that are fighting for our freedom this very second in your prayers! Thanks:)
