I thought this was pretty interesting. We have estimated that I am about 5 weeks today, we will see what the doc says on Wednesday, but I anticipate this to be pretty accurate. I came across a site that doesn't show you creepy pictures of what your baby looks like at 5 weeks. I'll probably stick with these each week till the baby looks more like a baby and not a sea monkey. According to the site, Baby is still an embryo and the size of an apple seed. Here is what the site says about what is going on with the baby this week.
"Your embryo (looking kind of like a tadpole) is starting to form major organs (heart, kidney, liver, stomach) and systems (nervous, circulatory, digestive). Baby's presence in your uterus triggers production of hCG (the hormone detected by pregnancy tests)... which triggers production of other hormones like estrogen and progesterone... which trigger all those great symptoms you've probably been noticing! "
