What’s going on this week? Our baby is now 5/8 of an inch long, about the size of a Kidney bean or Raspberry. Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from 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. His arms have lengthened, too, and his hands are now flexed at the wrist and meet over his heart. His knee joints have formed, and his feet may be long enough to meet in front of his body. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. Our baby is really growing , putting on about a millimeter every day and continuing to straighten out in the trunk. Though I can’t feel it yet, baby is moving those little arms, legs and (now only slightly) webbed fingers and toes like crazy!
Note :I have not been experiencing any significant pregnancy symptoms this week. I am grateful but at the same time, I kind of wish I felt pregnant.
