Today you are about 9 weeks! I am very much looking forward to our next doctor's appointment on August 4. I can't wait to hear that little heartbeat of yours again. This week you are about the size of a grape and you weigh about a fraction of an ounce. Can you believe that? Some other things happening to you this week:
*your heart is finishing dividing into four chambers and the valves are starting to form
*your teeth are starting to form
*your organs, muscles, and nerves are kicking into gear
*your eyes are fully formed but your eyelids will be sealed shut until around 27 weeks
*you have tiny earlobes and your mouth, nose and nostrils are more distinct
All this and you are the size of a juicy grape although you have taken on the name of "Bean." I just can't seem to call you "it" so for now you are just "Bean." :)
(I have found this wonderful website that tells you all the different things that are developing week to week with the baby. The website is http://www.babycenter.com/. Click on the pregnancy tab and then click on the week. So interesting!)
