Week 7

So I've been feeling much better in the last few days, it's almost strange. I even went back to my favorite Kick boxing class last night. Although I didn't push myself too hard since I kept thinking to not overdo it, I still felt like I got a little bit of a work out. Now if I just do this, go on my favorite walks at Torrey Pines and Yoga regularly or at least 3 or 4 times a week, I think I'll be in pretty good shape. So much easier said than done. It seems that I haven't gained any weight yet... although I seem to be eating or snacking all the time. I did notice that if I overeat, I start feeling sick, so I try not to do that.
I got my blood tests done yesterday - they wanted 5 tubes of blood, that's a lot! But at least I didn't get poked a bunch to find my vein, she got it right away, so it wasn't too bad.

BabyCenter.com - week 7 development:

Now almost half an inch long — roughly the size of a raspberry — he has elbow joints and distinct, slightly webbed fingers and toes. In his oversized head, both hemispheres of his brain are developing. His teeth and the inside of his mouth are forming, and his ears continue to develop. Eyelid folds partially cover his tiny peepers, which already have some color, and the tip of that nose. His skin is paper-thin and his veins are clearly visible. Your little one also has an appendix and a pancreas, which will eventually produce the hormone insulin to aid in digestion. His liver is busy producing red blood cells, and a loop of your baby's growing intestines is bulging into his umbilical cord, which now has distinct blood vessels to carry oxygen and nutrients to and from his tiny body. You can't feel his gyrations yet, but your baby is like a little jumping bean, moving in fits and starts around his watery home.
