6 Weeks ~ January 3

After IVF they have you come back for 3 ultrasounds at 6, 7 and 8 weeks to make sure everything looks good and then you are released to your OB.  We went to my fertility clinic for the 6 week ultrasound and everything looked great.  There is one baby and the due date is August 29.  The heartbeat was 99 and it was so amazing to see it on the monitor.    

I started showing right away from the IVF medicine and because technically it's my 4th pregnancy so I think my body started moving into position early.

Belly Pictures ~ 6 Weeks

Here is what BabyCenter says about the baby:

This week's major developments: The nose, mouth, and ears that you'll spend so much time kissing in eight months are beginning to take shape. If you could see into your uterus, you'd find an oversize head and dark spots where your baby's eyes and nostrils are starting to form. His emerging ears are marked by small depressions on the sides of the head, and his arms and legs by protruding buds. His heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute — almost twice as fast as yours — and blood is beginning to course through his body. His intestines are developing, and the bud of tissue that will give rise to his lungs has appeared. His pituitary gland is forming, as are the rest of his brain, muscles, and bones. Right now, your baby is a quarter of an inch long, about the size of a lentil.
