Well, this little bugger, about the size of a macadamia nut is what's been causing me so much trouble. The yolk sac is producing blood cells for the little one until there is a spleen and liver to do the job for it. (I'm trying really hard to be gender neutral with my pronouns!)
The most amazing thing was seeing the heart beat. It's just so hard to believe that this tiny lump of cells living in my body has its very own heart beat. Seeing the flicker across the screen was so wild.
The nausea is becoming part of my everyday life. I have a countdown running to the beginning of my second trimester. At least now I'm sure I can do it. Last week, I wasn't so sure!
Oh, the other news is an official due date: May 11, 2012. Tia Amanda notes that May has a "peaceful, awakening energy." I couldn't agree more!
