We are now into day 51 which means 7 weeks and 2 days (you don't get to claim the week till its completed!). The baby is doing some pretty cool things now and looking much more humanoid :)
- Elbows form - Again, taking a peek inside you could see your baby's fascination with bending and flexing.
- Fingers start to develop
- Feet start to appear with tiny notches for the toes
- Ears eyes and nose start to appear - Although they may resemble an alien life form, these all "shift" soon enough into a more normal appearance.
- Intestines start to form in the umbilical cord
- Teeth begin to develop under the gums -
also the heart has been beating and the circulatory system working for over three weeks now! it is between the size of a pencil eraser, so slightly bigger than it's blueberry satus of last week. Approximately 1/2 inch long now, and the gestational sack (water bed) is growing rapidly!
