Milestone Monday

6weeks:

This week, my baby is going through major developments: The nose, mouth, and ears are beginning to take shape. He has an oversize head and dark spots where my baby's eyes and nostrils are starting to form (Doesn't he/she sound beautiful?) His emerging ears are marked by small depressions on the sides of the head, and his arms and legs by protruding buds. His heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute — almost twice as fast as mine — and blood is beginning to course through his body. His intestines are developing, and the bud of tissue that will give rise to his lungs has appeared. His pituitary gland is forming, as are the rest of his brain, muscles, and bones. Right now, my baby is a quarter of an inch long, about the size of a Lentil bean (but please don't call him that!).

I actually don't even feel pregnant. Last week I was feeling a bit queazy, but now I feel perfectly fine... well, besides falling asleep any and every time I sit still not doing anything. My poor husband! I try to nap just to have a normal conversation with him in the evening without him looking at me fall asleep midsentence. I still haven't had a doctor's appointment and I wish I were going in sooner. I guess its just I want that assurity. I hate that I worry even when I have a Savior that takes those burdens of worry away from me... well, if I give them to him. I sure do try! I worry when I don't feel pregnant, "what if something is wrong?" I worry when I do "Is that a normal feeling"... and this is my THIRD time at this! I should be over it by now. I am just so excited I don't want to overlook anything! But, I do feel confident that God has a plan... well, more than confident that is! I KNOW he does, and no matter what would happen, I rest in his hands!

I am already obsessing over baby names. We know the boy name, but in that slight 50% chance its a girl, I need a name. I am stuck right now on Adeline. Dave says to make a list and he can choose... but I don't want any other name... so maybe I can hand him a paper with Adeline written 25 times on the page... or match it with names like Beatrice, Bertha, Salutation (is that a name?) things like that... I bet he'll pick my name then! I love Adeline Rose... And I understand that Adeline is a love or hate name. So maybe he'll pick it knowing we'd call her Addy! And maybe we will just have a boy and not have to worry about it!

I just don't want to wait 34 weeks! I will, of course... I just don't want to!
