And my Christmas Eve pajama set a day later because I think it fits and portrays the bump better. I had to super crop this picture because my spawn decided to involve itself in my picture taking activities.

Ridiculous. It's pushing all of my organs everywhere.

In my experience, this symptom subsides at about 6-7 weeks and at 8ish weeks is replaced by an itty bitty baby bump. As this will <hopefully> be my third full term pregnancy I can expect to "show" sooner. 

Developmental growth:

Embryo is a little over .6 inches. It has wrists! And elbows! It can flex! It's growing eyes and continuing the formation of other organs and working on ears.

This week the small creature will grow to a little bit under an inch big. It will start working on reproductive organs and will finish eye growth. Eyelids will form and seal the eyes closed. At the same time, fingers will appear and the hands and feet will stop looking like paddles.
