I like this picture better - The Poppyseed

Subtitle: The goings-on in my uterus - Week 4



In week 3, sperm meets egg, and voila: conception! Your little zygote sets off on a six-day trek through your fallopian tubes, dividing and redividing into identical cells as it travels to your uterus. (How exhausting!)
In week 4, now safe in your womb, the ball of cells (blastocyst) splits in two, becoming the embryo and the placenta. The amniotic sac and fluid are forming around baby, and will act as a cushion for the next eight months.

I have non-stop headaches, unreal exhaustion, and waves of nausea. Suh-weet.

According to this picture I'm growing a mushroom

Your baby's body now has three distinct layers from which all of his organs will develop.

It seems like EVERYONE is pregnant. It took me 5 years to get Athena. How in the world did this happen so quickly.

I'm terrified.
I have SO many things swirling through my head.
I adore my compadre that is ALWAYS there the SECOND I need to freak regardless of the actual distance between us.
I have so many doubts about myself.
I'm glad that I have absolutely NO doubts about my husbands competency. (One of us needs to be a star.)

I think I'm going to be blogging full force again, as I will need some major support.

Shall I get a creepy baby widget too??
