This week the baby finally makes it to a full Inch in length! Yay! It is about the size of a grape. All essential body parts are accounted for and the Oh-so-fashionable tail is gone. The heart is dividing into the four chambers and the teeth are forming as well. The ears, nose, eyes and mouth are all more distinct. The gender organs are developed but are still too small for a gender determination. (a few more weeks on that one) All of the basic physiology is in place and its time for the baby to start gaining weight. Next week marks the end of the embryonic stage and moves us into the fetal stage! Only a three more weeks left in the first trimester. (give or take)
I've been having some serious back pain and decided to see a Chiropractor yesterday. His plan sounds great and includes PT to get my back and joints supported for all that weight I'm bound to find. I also had some blood work done today to check all of my vitamin and hormone levels. Thankfully, the headaches are pretty much gone and the morning sickness hasn't shown up (knock on wood!)
We'll give you more information as it comes in!
much love,
Justin and Robin
