Growing like a seed!

This week I'm growing from the size of a sesame seed to the size of a lentil.  That's a lot in one week!  It's giving my mommy a little bit of cramping since her uterus is growing with me.  She said she doesn't remember feeling it quite this much so early with my sister, but I guess they say it all happens faster with the second one.  Her body isn't resisting the stretching and pulling as the uterus grows.  I'll try to be nice to her!

Hello! And welcome to my blog...

I'd introduce myself, but I don't have a name yet.  I've been in my mommy's womb for a couple of weeks now, she's about 5 weeks along.  This blog is about my life from the inside, and how it sometimes affects the outside world.  I have two big sisters who don't know about me yet, but I'm sure will be anxiously awaiting my arrival.  Mommy and Daddy found out about me on Saturday June 12, 2010.  It was the first month they were trying, and they weren't even "trying" yet, just letting things happen. Surprise!

I'm currently about the size of a sesame seed, and my circulatory system and heart are developing now.  I bet Mommy can't wait to hear it beating for the first time!  My neural tube is also developing, and it will become my spinal cord.  So far Mom's feeling fine, just a few hints here and there that I'm around.  My sister was very nice to her while she was in here, so we'll see how she feels with me around!
