Since nothing too exciting is happening right now, I thought I'd at least give ya a little bit of information about how the little guy, or gal, is growing. Just two weeks ago, the little one was five millimeters and now he's 14 to 20 millimeters - my they grow fast!
Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from the baby's hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his "tail" is just about gone. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. The baby — about the size of a kidney bean — is constantly moving and shifting, though it can't be felt. (Adapted from http://www.babycenter.com/)
