Now Playing: Week Eight
August 2nd, 2006 by SarahEight weeks into your pregnancy, your baby is just over 1/2 of an inch long.
Your baby will develop webbed fingers and toes this week. Wrists, elbows and ankles are clearly visible, and your baby’s eyelids are beginning to form. The ears, upper lip and tip of the nose also become recognizable.
As your baby’s heart becomes more fully developed, it will pump at 150 beats a minute — about twice the usual adult rate.
Whoo-hoo! Two months! Now just seven more months and 25 more pounds to go (and 5 of those pounds I gain will just be in BLOOD). This week it looks like the baby will start getting cuter…well, cuter in an “Alien” sort of way, I guess. I think I’ll just have it now and put it in a Polly Pocket house.
