6 weeks 1 day

Yesterday we went to Edinburgh Zoo for the day... arrived at 12noon and walked about in the baking sunshine until 4pm when we were too exhausted to go any further and resigned to it being "hometime"!!! It was a fantastic day, thoroughly enjoyed every second of it.

However... today both of us are paying the price... both of us are in agony from all the walking (so unfit!!). And I've been feeling icky all day... could this be day 1 of morning sickness? Or simply over-exertion? I'm hoping it's the latter of the two!! I haven't even gotten dressed today... YEY for jammie day!!!

Time for beano update:

This is going to be a busy week for your amazing little embryo. Their brain is still growing remarkably fast; miniature hand plates are starting to develop and the early formations of what will be their fingers are already visible. Also, the lower limbs do not develop quite as fast, so they?re pretty much still flippers. Up until this point, your baby has been very curled up with the head and tail in close proximity, but this week their trunk and neck are beginning to grow and straighten as their tail recedes into its resting position in the back. Even though your little miracle is only 6 weeks old, they?re already capable of demonstrating reflex responses to touch!
