7 weeks

Hooray!!! Made it to 7 weeks!!! This week hiccups can be observed! The heart is now 4 chambered and beats approximately 162 times a minute! This week the eyelids start a period of rapid growth and once they are completely formed the baby will have it's eyes closed for a while. The baby can also move it's legs now! It's a little over half an inch long!

     I am feeling fine minus the food aversions and bloating. I keep drinking water and I feel like I am just retaining any kind of fluid. I haven't been eating more or else and yet I've gained weight... grrrrr... I am already big as it is but I don't want to gain a bunch of weight because I am pregnant. I know I will gain some but I want it to be all baby. I am hoping it's just water weight. I read that water is retained during the 1st trimester so here's hoping!


       On a lighter note.. the baby hates tacos! I had a crunchy taco last night and nearly threw it all up because it tasted so nasty. Tacos never taste nasty to me....so I am blaming my new found hate for tacos on the kid being in there lol! Alright, I will continue to keep everyone updated! Have a good week!
