7 Weeks - Blueberry

We're just over 7 weeks along. They say the baby is the size of a blueberry. This is what else they say in this week's email:
"Hands and feet are emerging from developing arms and legs — although they look more like paddles at this point... Technically, your baby is still considered an embryo and has something of a small tail, which is an extension of her tailbone. The tail will disappear within a few weeks, but that's the only thing getting smaller."



The whole "tail" thing is a little wierd, but as long as that's gone by the time the little one comes out, I think I'm ok with it.

As far as I'm doing, I'm getting "baby bloat" like there's no tomorrow. If I relax my stomach muscles, it pretty much looks like I'm several months further along. They say that's normal, and it should go away - just in time for me to really get big.

I've had some nausea, but it's been fairly mild - no puking.

At work the other day, I sneezed 3 times during a meeting. Sneezing is fairly common for me during the day - probably some sort of allergy or something. But this time in the meeting, one of the guys said, "you know, I heard that if you sneeze three times in a row, it means you're with child." I think his wife is pregnant, but it was just very wierd. I just have to ignore all of that for another month or so.

I'm hoping to start doing weekly pictures, but I wanted to pick up a t-shirt that should fit the whole way through first.
