7 weeks and counting

So here's what happening with the baby so far (this is just an approximate guess...we'll find out how old it really is next week)
The baby is about 1/3-1/2 of an inch--and between the size of a lentil bean or blueberry! Arm and leg development continues (arms faster than legs) but still no toes or fingers. The brain is growing steadily along with the lenses of the eyes, nostrils, pancreas and bronchi. The majority of the major organs have been developed.
In week 6 the heart started beating and pumping blood, the umbilical cord was formed, as was the ears, eyes and mouth opening!
Everyday something new is happening--very exciting!
much love,
Justin and Robin
