Possibly Week 6

This week's major developments: The nose, mouth, and ears are beginning to take shape. The baby's eyes and nostrils are starting to form. His emerging ears are marked by small depressions on the sides of the head, and his arms and legs by protruding buds. His heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute — almost twice as fast as yours — and blood is beginning to course through his body. His intestines are developing, and the bud of tissue that will give rise to his lungs has appeared. His pituitary gland is forming, as are the rest of his brain, muscles, and bones. Right now, your baby is a quarter of an inch long, about the size of a lentil bean. [from www.babycenter.com]

I cannot wait to go to my doctor's appointment on January 21. Only 12 more days to go.
