I downloaded this free app on my phone from What to Expect When You are Expecting. It is free and lets you see weekly notes about my body changing and the growth of the baby. It also gives daily advice to help the pregnancy go well, like tips on eating and healthy habits. Feel free to download and follow along with me if you want. Or I will try to update the info on here. Today I am 4 weeks and 4 days pregnant. Just put that info into the settings and it should work. I did a conception day of January 26th. I think that is right but may have to change after I meet with my OB. It put the due date around October 19th. Jared's birthday is the 17th but he said he is okay with the baby or babies coming around that time. He is willing to share with them.
The app said that this week is about the baby forming a heart tube and neural tube. They are rough organs that help it survive and start forming and perfecting the actual organs that it will need. It is roughly the size of an orange seed. I am not sure I have even seen an orange with seeds so I am not sure what size that is. It does resemble a tadpole and is a round body with a little tail.
Jared is doing well with everything going on. He talked with my tummy once but hasn't wanted to since then. He did ask the other day if both embryos will become babies. I told him there is a chance that one or both of them may not be strong enough to survive. He thought about it for a minute and then said that he is sure P. Shirley will survive because she is the strongest one. I thought that was cute. He also asked about us being able to name the babies for real. I reminded him that we are just helping to make the babies and that the parents have to name them. He asked if he could suggest some names and I told him that I would let the parents know what he thought. He decided he likes Pidge (named after our friend's dog) and "Oh, Grandma". I pointed out that it would be weird to name a kid Grandma because other kids would get confused. He agreed and decided to take that name off the list. He is so weird.
I forgot to mention that I have started losing my memory already I am forgetting to do the smallest and simplest things. And the other day I drove 15 minutes past the Utah clinic because I was zoned out. Luckily I snapped back to it and got to my appt on time.
And I think there is something else I wanted to write but I can't remember right now.
