TODAY is the furthest we have EVER got :) 8 weeks today- whats going on in there?


Baby CJ is the size of a kidney bean- I dont like Kidney beans in general I tend to pick them out of a a chilli con carne- But this little kidney bean I do like :)
She has webbed fingers and toes and ickle hands and feet, she now has breathing tubes conecting to her lungs and her "tail" has nearly gone (phew) In her brain primitive neural tubes are forming, her bits havent developed yet but ovaries are starting to grow (they are "gonads" that turn into balls or ovaries!) Amniotic fluid is increasing by two tablespoons a week to accomodate r's tenant. Her intenstines are bulging out of her tummy and into the umbilical cord until 12 wks. Hardening of the bones is starting, so much calcium and folic acid needed.....Major milestone for us...keep growing sprout!!!
