4 Weeks


(not so easy to find a pic of one poppy seed!)

Pregnancy Highlights

How Far Along:  4 Weeks
Size of Baby:  PoppySeed (less than .1 inch, less than .04 oz.)
Nicknames (Gma & Gpa W): Poppy (boy), Poppie (girl), Pumpkin (Aunt Heather)
Weight Gain:  Nothing Yet (actually lost a couple)
Maternity Clothes:  Not yet but definitely bloating so thinking they would be nice!
Milestones:  The blastocyst is now officially considered an embryo and is busy implanting into the lining of the uterus where the placenta will continue to develop.
Symptoms:  Very first symptoms are lower back pain, bloating, and headaches.
Cravings:  Cranberry Juice
Recap of the Week:  This was the week of telling the first group of family/friends the good news.  And Taylor's work... LOL.  We were going to keep it all a secret until I went to the doctor but that didn't work out too well... once Taylor told everyone at his work (the day we found out), i decided i wanted to tell people too!  There are still a few people who won't know until we hear the heartbeat but close family and friends definitely know already.  It's hard to keep the happy news contained!  Was 4 weeks, 2 days when we found out (see previous post for details).  Made my first prenatal appt on August 5th and anticipating it on August 22nd.
