Pregnancy: Week 7

Monday will be pregnancy week number 7. Jamie has been feeling terrible. The HCG counts have been great! We had an ultrasound at week 5 day 5 and the baby was 0.25 centimeters long. 0.25 centimeters! That is 1/3 the length of a grain of rice. We could see the heartbeat clearly on the ultrasound. Baby "X" looked like a lightning bug.

The little round dot that you see at the tip of the arrow is the baby. It is amazing how you can love a little dot so much. When we first saw Charlie he already had arms and legs and was bouncing around in the womb. It is so awesome that we have been able to see baby "X" twice already and we are only 7 weeks along.

Jamie wakes up every morning with nausea and it seems to last all day. I don't remember her being this sick with Charlie. Could this baby be a girl? What is your guess? Girl or boy?

Baby "X" may just have the designation of baby "X" since we can not seem to agree on names. We already used the one name that we both liked. Jamie likes Wyatt for a boy. I prefer William. Jamie always wanted to name a girl Shelby. It finally grew on me and now she is not sure if she likes it. Women and their ever changing minds. Maybe I should start an eBay auction for "Name my kid". The highest bidder gets to name baby "X".
