8 Weeks!

My Baby Go, baby, go! Your talented child has doubled in size in the past two weeks, and is now approximately three-quarters of an inch long. Body parts that formed in the first few weeks are growing more complex and specialized, including the eyes, limbs, mouth, heart, and brain. Fingers and toes are taking shape, along with the palate and pituitary gland. The eyelids are also forming--until they're complete, the eyes appear open. Ten tiny fingers and toes are forming now, and your baby's eyelids are beginning to cover his peepers -- which, by the way, now have pigment in them. And everything that started developing weeks ago (arms and legs, heart, and brain) continues to become more refined and specialized! The baby is the size of a blueberry... is that bigger than a coffee bean? LOL She's <.50-.75 inches in length and weights < .25 oz. But at least she's growing! She's also making me very tired!! I don't have 8 week pictures yet... I'm too tired to take them tonight. I haven't changed much anyway. LOL... I'll hopefully feel more like it tomorrow night... I'm going to bed way early tonight.
HUGS*
P.S. 221 days to go!!
