How your baby is growing this week
Blueberry size — 0.5 inches. Arm and leg buds sprouting. Brain generating 100 neurons per minute. Kidneys forming. Heart has 4 chambers and beats 150 bpm — twice yours.
What your partner is going through
Frequent urination in overdrive — uterus pressing directly on bladder. Mood swings from progesterone surges. Morning sickness peaks between now and Week 9. She may vomit 3-6 times daily.
What to focus on this week, dad
- 01Bathroom Ops: deep clean it and keep it pristine — she is spending half her day in there between nausea and urination
- 02Stock ginger ale, saltines, and preggie pops. Keep a stash in her nightstand, purse, and car
