Tomorrow morning Amy will be going in for an ultrasound with her sister. No worries; nothing is wrong. Amy just wanted an ultrasound and her sister just wanted to do one. :) It may be too early to hear a heartbeat still, but we'll be able to see if the sac looks normal. With baby #3, we never saw a normal sac or a heartbeat, so we have some anxiety about this ultrasound. Please say some prayers around this.
As far as Punkin goes... at this point, he/she has no visible arms or legs, but within a few hours, the tiny buds that form the arms will suddenly appear. Punkin's spinal cord is beginning to form and his/her liver and pancreas buds are also present. Punkin's gut is also beginning to form.
By the end of this month, Punkin will have completed a period of growth that involves the greatest size and physical changes of his/her lifetime. In 5 days, Punkin will be 10,0000x larger than the fertilized egg; though, in actuality, not much bigger than a grain of rice!
Mommy has been experiencing more symptoms... tiredness, cramping, irritability, tearfulness. And today her gum's started to hurt. While some of these feelings may have a psychological basis, most of the time they are just natural reactions to a woman's body changing levels of hormones. (Did you read that Daddy? Mommy really CAN'T control it!) :)
