We had our first ultrasound at 6 weeks. We saw this little bear's heart flicker and it measured a smaller than a centimeter.
What I experienced at 6 weeks:
Extremely thirsty
I wanted all things salty and cheesy
Really hard to sleep
Every morning I would wake up in complete awe and gratitude that this was finally happening
What to expect at 6 weeks:
Baby's Head Takes Shape
You might be coping with full-blown pregnancy symptoms (sorry), but there's plenty of good news too. The folds of tissue in the prominent bump on top (the head) are developing into your baby's jaw, cheeks and chin — what will eventually become one adorable face. And are those little indentations on both sides of the head the adorable dimples you always hoped your baby would inherit from your mom's side of the family? No, they're ear canals in the making. Small bumps on the face will form the eyes and button nose in a few weeks time. Also taking shape this week: her kidneys, liver and lungs, along with her little heart, which is now beating 80 times a minute (and getting faster every day).
