First official Ultrasound

We look to be about 5 weeks along. A bit early to do measurements or see the heart beat. Targeting EDD end of November, so I guess no Thanksgiving for us. (not that I am complaining) :)

Got my pre-pregnancy weight ... let's see how it goes.

5 Weeks
How your baby's growing:
Deep in your uterus your embryo is growing at a furious pace. At this point, he's about the size of a sesame seed, and he looks more like a tiny tadpole than a human. He's now made up of three layers — the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm — which will later form all of his organs and tissues.

The neural tube — from which your baby's brain, spinal cord, nerves, and backbone will sprout — is starting to develop in the top layer, called the ectoderm. This layer will also give rise to his skin, hair, nails, mammary and sweat glands, and tooth enamel.

His heart and circulatory system begin to form in the middle layer, or mesoderm. (This week, in fact, his tiny heart begins to divide into chambers and beat and pump blood.) The mesoderm will also form your baby's muscles, cartilage, bone, and subcutaneous (under skin) tissue.

The third layer, or endoderm, will house his lungs, intestines, and rudimentary urinary system, as well as his thyroid, liver, and pancreas. In the meantime, the primitive placenta and umbilical cord, which deliver nourishment and oxygen to your baby, are already on the job

On your mark ... get set ....

I just got back from the Doctor's with very promising news! My body might be ready! After it's long "vacation", it's actually doing something. My actual doctor is OOO today, so I won't find out for certain till tomorrow or the day after. But how exciting, I might be able to follow this one from the very beginning ....
