Week 8


At 8 weeks, the baby is starting to look like a tiny human. Just adorable! I've been a little sicker this week. I'm trying to enjoy each day and not wish time away, but I'm ready for the sickness to pass so I can be the glowing pregnant woman!

-The tissue that will form the hands and fingers appears.
-The baby's legs now resemble paddles.
-The intestines are beginning to form within the umbilical cord.
-Pigment within the baby's retina will be present this week.

  2. This is a picture I found online of someone else's baby. It's just so neat to imagine that little body inside of me! I needed a visual so I searched the internet to see what the baby looks like now.
