Baby this week

I signed up to get an email every week about what and how the baby is growing. I did it with my pregnancy with Trevor. I thought you would like to follow week by week with me. I also was going to put up a thing were you can see what the baby looks like but when I went to do it I thought I would what until I get a set in stone due date. And the picture wasn't very cute. It is in the lizard looking stage now.


This is at week six. I know I have a long way to go!!!
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 bean.
