After further investigation, everything is saying that I have the same amount of days left in this pregnancy (243 days). They just differ on what week that means that I'm in. So, like I said before, for simplicity sake, we'll just go with what my pregnancy journal says. Which means, I'm 6 weeks and 1 day pregnant today. Woohoo!
The development that began yesterday continues today: Punkin's jaws are appearing, his/her lung buds are forming, circulation is being established in the mesoderm and yolk sac, the lining of the placenta is developing, and 4 more pairs of somites have formed, bringing the total to 12 pairs! Right now, stem cells are migrating from the yolk sac to the back wall of Punkin's body, where they will form the reproductive tract.
Amy's been cravings these week included: mashed potatoes and gravy, grape pop, cupcakes and sour cream & onion chips. Cravings are usually due to changes in taste and smell sensitivities and are unrelated to real physiological needs. A woman who craves pickles or chips is not likely to need salt in her diet, for example. Amy has also found that certain foods aggravate her heartburn/reflux more.
