This week the baby is about 1/2 inch long!
It's the size of a large Raspberry they say!
-Its eyelids have formed.
-Webbed Fingers and toes are starting to grow
-The tail (which is part of the spinal cord) is almost gone.
-Its Heart is beating about twice as fast as mine at about 150 Beats per Minute!
I can't wait to see it on the ultrasound on Tuesday!
I'll definitely be posting afterwards! Hopefully we'll be able to see something in there!
2 days ago I got to do an ultrasound on a dog that was also 8 weeks pregnant at work and you could see the puppies moving around and you could also see the heart fluttering! It's funny because an 8 week old puppy fetus is sooo much bigger than an 8 week old human fetus! (Its probably about the length of my middle finger.) Humans and puppies look pretty similar as embryos though!
