We hit week 7! yay!!!
The big news this week: Hands and feet are emerging from developing arms and legs
If you could see inside your womb, you'd spot eyelid folds partially covering her peepers, which already have some color, as well as the tip of its nose and tiny veins beneath parchment-thin skin.
Both hemispheres of your baby's brain are growing, and its liver is churning out red blood cells until its bone marrow forms and takes over this role.
The baby also has an appendix and a pancreas, which will eventually produce the hormone insulin to aid in digestion. A loop in your baby's growing intestines is bulging into its umbilical cord, which now has distinct blood vessels to carry oxygen and nutrients to and from its tiny body.
Eating is a major chore and my stomach is always upset. Forced down almost all of my cereal today. The websites also tell me to start taking pictures, so that is what we will do today!
