This week marks 2 months. I can't believe the little one will be here in 7 months. If the next 7 months go by as slow as last week has I'm in trouble. I wake up every morning and for a split second forget that I'm preggers. Once I remember it's like hearing the good news all over again. I'm sure once I stop sleeping through the night because of my enlarging abdomen I won't forget as easily!
Here's whats going on in week 8:
How your baby's growing:New this week: Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your 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. You may be daydreaming about your baby as one sex or the other, but the external genitals still haven't developed enough to reveal whether you're having a boy or a girl. Either way, your baby, about the size of a kidney bean, is constantly moving and shifting, though you still can't feel it.
We will have more updates after our first ultra sound on Wednesday.
