Oh the flu....

So I have contracted to flu virus - thanks to the many germy kids at the elementary school I am boasting a sore throat and sleep disturbing cough. Not to mention that the cough drops that usually soothe my sore throat have only proven to make me feel like throwing up...which is good in some ways (at least my hormones are working!) but not so pleasant as I have been trying to sleep the last few days. On to baby news...we had an ultrasound on friday which was too early to see a heartbeat...but did show that the pregnancy was where it was supposed to be (and not an ectopic pregnancy) so that is good. I expect to have another one to check for the heartbeat next week - and if I get a picture I will post it! We are headed towards week seven and there is still a ton of activity. First please pray that my illness will clear up quickly, not turn to bronchitis or pneumonia, and not require antibiotics. This week the baby will grow to be the size of a blueberry - about a quarter of an inch. The arm and leg buds will grow and extend into fingers/toes. The brain cells will be developing at the rate of 100 cells per minute and the mouth and tounge are forming. In addition to that the baby's kidneys will finish development and begin waste management by the end of the week - how exciting! Please pray for all of these things, and that my sickness would go away and not effect the baby (or my sleep any more!) Love you all!
