Pregnancy: Week 7

My Body

I am 7 weeks pregnant this week and this is what my uterus looks like. This week's major developments: Hands and feet are emerging from developing arms and legs. Technically, our baby is still considered an embryo and has something of a small tail, which is an extension of their tailbone. The tail will disappear within a few weeks, but that's the only thing getting smaller. Our baby has doubled in size since last week and now measures half an inch long, about the size of a blueberry.

My Symptoms

My nausea is the same. I did cave in and call the doctor for a prescription which she prescribed Zofran (Ondansetron). I am only taking it when I have to and I can say that even though my nausea feeling doesn't go away completely when I take it, it helps it tremendously. This weekend I did vomit for my first time after eating cereal so now I'm staying away from dairy at the moment.

I don't really have much of an appetite as nothing sounds good to me at all.

My sleeping is all whack! I can't get comfortable no matter what I do. I usually sleep on my side anyways so I didn't think I was gonna have a problem with that but I'm just not comfortable. Either my stomach hurts or between our cat who sleeps right beside me and Mr. Lopez I feel too claustrophobic. So last night I laid on the other end of the bed and got a little more sleep but I still tossed and turned for the most part.

My Weight

Starting Weight: 163 lbs.
Last Week: 162 lbs.
This Week: 162 lbs.

I have maintained my weight this week which is good. Mr. Lopez and I did not go walking at all this week because I was just feeling miserable. We're hoping to start back up today.


I am hoping to get Mr. Lopez to take a pic of me this evening so I can start taking progress pics every month.
