Wow, I feel huge already (Dru's Wife)

I know that seems silly since I am really only 5-6 weeks pregnant. But my clothes already feel tight and my belly feels hard. I saw a billboard with a fully pregnant woman and I thought - holy cow - I will look like that soon? I have not been pregnant for 7 years. And I am starting to remember all the little things; liking frequent urination, being really hungry when I wake up, and the inability to tie my shoes. I am also remembering the good stuff too, like feeling a connection with the baby inside of you and watching your body move with the babies movements. It's all such a miracle. I look at pictures of baby Dru now and can't believe that in 9 short months this grouping of cells and skin layers will soon be a cooing, smiling, crying, sleeping, nursing, wetting, fascinating creature for us to love.

Here's what is happening with Baby Dru this week:

Your baby is 1/17 of an inch long - about the size of the tip of a pen.

This week, your baby's heart and circulatory system are taking shape. Your baby's blood vessels will complete a circuit, and his or her heart will begin to beat. Although you won't be able to hear it yet, the motion of your baby's beating heart may be detected with an ultrasound exam.

With these changes, blood circulation begins - making the circulatory system the first functioning organ system.
