My baby at 8 weeks.......

How your baby's growing:New this week: Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your 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. You may be daydreaming about your baby as one sex or the other, but the external genitals still haven't developed enough to reveal whether you're having a boy or a girl. Either way, your baby — about the size of a kidney bean — is constantly moving and shifting, though you still can't feel it.

Sherydon,
I am so excited for you to be able to experience all these fun things when you are pregnant. The heartbeat and to be able to see your child is awesome. Just wait until you feel your child move inside you for the first time it is so surreal. Good luck and sorry you are sick. I was sick vomitting and nausea for 20 weeks, but its worth every second.
