New this week:
While the arms and legs are lengthening webbed fingers and toes are poking out from our baby's hands and feet, its elbows are forming, eyelids practically cover its eyes, breathing tubes extend from its throat to the branches of developing lungs, and the "tail" is just about gone. In its brain, nerve cells begin to connect with one another, forming early neural pathways. Our baby is the size of a kidney bean and is constantly moving even though I can't feel it. It is .63inches long and weighs around a gram.
Alex and I went for our first Prenatal appointment on Friday and got the babies first picture taken, everything looks average at this point. We got to see the babies heart beat and hear it through ultrasound (not true heartbeat sound). It was truly amazing to hear the fast heartbeat (145bpm). We are scheduled to go back September 4th to get another ultrasound and get checked out.
