Our Blueberry - 7w5d

thebump.com:
Baby's brain -- both hemispheres! -- is growing fast, generating about 100 new cells every minute. Arms and legs are emerging as joints start to form, and a permanent set of kidneys (baby's third!) is now in place.

Your baby is now about the size of your thumbprint: one-half to three-quarters of an inch. Six weeks is barely enough time to start a magazine subscription, but it's enough time for your fetus to develop limbs, tiny fingers and toes, the beginnings of external ear structures, eyelids, an upper lip, the tip of a nose, and intestines! The outer cells of the embryo have grown links to your blood supply.

Darn allergies

I went to the Doctor on Friday because what I thought was a cold was getting worse. My cough was horrible and what I spit up wasn't pretty. She said that it seems like allergies but a pretty bad case of them and said I could take Claritin daily safely during pregnancy. She also said to pick up saline nasal spray. SOLD!

4 days later, I'm still suffering through this cough. Some days it's bad enough to completely eclipse the nausea. I toss and turn all night and I'm relieved when it's time to wake up. I can't stand this. And I have this overwhelming feeling of fluid in my lungs.

But the Doctor didn't seem worried, so I'm thinking I might be overreacting. Either way though, I'll be back in her office by weeks end if this continues. Boo.
