Week Five

Today starts week five of pregnancy.  Peanut, this week you will grow to the size of an orange seed!  A lot bigger than the poppy seed you were last week.  This week, your heart is starting to take shape.  The heart, brain and spinal cord are the first things to form.  We love you very much.

I cancelled the early appointment (7 weeks) I had made with Women's Birth and Wellness Center, and moved it to 11 weeks.  I decided that nothing would convince me this child is okay until I hear (or preferably see) his/her little heart beating.  So, an early appointment would be a waste of time and money.  My first appointment won't be until the end of November, and we'll tell family and Facebook after that.  We are planning on telling coworkers much earlier, and our church small group a little after that.
