{8 weeks}

"Your baby is now 5/8 of an inch long, about the size of a kidney bean (or raspberry). New this week: Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your babys hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his 'tail' is just about gone. His arms have lengthened, too, and his hands are now flexed at the wrist and meet over his heart. His knee joints are formed, and his feet may be long enough to meet in front of his body. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways." (info from my weekly email from babycenter)

And now here's how I am progressing:

How far along: 8 weeks today!!

How much does baby weigh: Not much ...


Maternity clothes: Not yet..but I only give it a few weeks .. I'm afraid I will be showing early!


Stretch marks: Not yet..I did buy lotion I need to start putting on daily though
