Week 8 - Our Litle Kidney Bean


New this week: Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from our little baby's 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. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. Although we may be daydreaming and wondering if it's a boy or girl (or both!), the external "proof" still hasn't developed enough to reveal whether we're having a boy or a girl. Either way, our baby — about the size of a kidney bean — is constantly moving and shifting, though I still can't feel it.

We have some appointments scheduled for when we get back from vacation at which point we should know for sure if there's one or two babies! We'll keep you posted!
