Yesterday went well. I passed the mark where I lost my baby last time. I mean technically, my miscarriage probably started at 7w0d and I should have stopped counting but by 7w6d, I knew for sure I was miscarrying so I stopped counting then.
Here's to uncharted territory! 8 weeks today baby!

7w5d
Sick from work today. However that's a great sign. Baby and I have made it most of the way through hell week and all is good. No sign of red on the TP or anything.
This is my 200th post. I'm thrilled that my 200th post happened while I was pregnant :)
I've also blogged more about this pregnancy so far than I have about my miscarriage in the past 9 months. That makes me happy :) Only three more posts about this pregnancy and it will be (I think) the most blogged about subject on my blog.

7w4d
3 more days until I will relax a bit... (not a lot though). I hope to order our doppler either on Wednesday or after my u/s which should hopefully be scheduled closeish to my Dr. appointment on Feb 14th. It would be nice to know baby is all well and kicking in there before I order it. I'm so nervous we'll get in there for the u/s and will have found that I've had a missed miscarriage... :( I wish my fears could be gone.
7w3d
4 days of my hell week over and done and good. I'm pleased.
On a side note, I feel like hurling. A&W did NOT sit well with me tonight... the craving was so strong but then after eating... /gag

7 weeks
How your baby's growing:
The big news this week: Hands and feet are emerging from developing arms and legs — although they look more like paddles at this point than the tiny, pudgy extremities you're daydreaming about holding and tickling. Technically, your baby is still considered an embryo and has something of a small tail, which is an extension of her tailbone. The tail will disappear within a few weeks, but that's the only thing getting smaller. Your baby has doubled in size since last week and now measures half an inch long, about the size of a blueberry.
If you could see inside your womb, you'd spot eyelid folds partially covering her peepers, which already have some color, as well as the tip of her nose and tiny veins beneath parchment-thin skin. Both hemispheres of your baby's brain are growing, and her liver is churning out red blood cells until her bone marrow forms and takes over this role. She also has an appendix and a pancreas, which will eventually produce the hormone insulin to aid in digestion. A loop in your baby's growing intestines is bulging into her umbilical cord, which now has distinct blood vessels to carry oxygen and nutrients to and from her tiny body.

7w0d
Official 7 week post to come when I take a picture tomorrow...
I seem to have made it through 7w0d with no spotting... only 6 more days to go of "hell week" until I'm in uncharted pregnancy territory.
