There’s not much to report on this week. I started brainstorming on ideas for the nursery…if it’s a boy, I want to do an underwater shipwreck theme (good thing my friend Lauren is an expert artist) and have pirate bedding. If anyone can find baby pirate bedding online, let me know! It is so hard to find, I’m starting to think my Mom is just going to have to make it. If it’s a girl, well, I don’t really have any ideas yet! If you have any unique, fun girl ideas, please post in the comments below!
Weekly Womb Workings: The baby's length is now about 3 to 5 millimeters -- about the size of a peppercorn! The brain is forming three separate parts: the forebrain (memory and reasoning), the midbrain (translates messages from the brain to organs and limbs) and the hindbrain (regulates breathing and muscle movement). At this point the embryo is now three-dimensional and completely enclosed in the amniotic sac. His (or Her) heart is now beating and blood circulation is evident. The kidneys and liver are growing fast, and the neural tube, which connects the brain with the spinal cord, closes.
