6 Weeks Pregnant

    I can't believe it but I've almost made it to the two month mark. We only have 13 days left to go before we have our first ultrasound of our little one...and we are both so excited. I have decided to make a post each week devoted to the development of baby J...this will be complete with ultrasound pictures, my growing belly, and information from pregnancy.org about development for that week. Sooo, for this week...here goes.

6 weeks preggers













FETAL DEVELOPMENT

• The arms and legs continue to develop - These limbs are stretching out more and more. Later on you will be feeling those feet and elbows up close and personal right in your bladder!
• Brain is growing well - Did you know that over the course of the remaining months that yourbaby's brain will develop over 100 billion neurons? This is just the beginning!
• Lenses of the eyes appear - If you could catch a glimpse inside, you would notice your baby's appearance becoming increasing like a newborn's.
• Nostrils are formed - The position of the nose seems to shift into its proper place as well. Soon, the nerves running from the nose to the brain appear.
• Intestines grow - Initially these are actually located outside the baby'sbody within the umbilical cord.
• Pancreas - Your baby is now equipped to deal with digestive enzymes and take on processing the insulin and glucagons the body needs to function.
