Peanut's Progress

Tomorrow will be the beginning of week 5! My mom got me a day-by-day calendar that lets me know what's going on with the baby every day.

Week four's highlights:

*Peanut's cells are arranging into three separate layers. The outer layer will become the brain, nerves, and skin. The middle layer will become the deeper layers of the skin as well as the bones, muscles, heart, reproductive organs, and blood vessels. The inner layer will become the intestines, lungs, and urinary tract.

*Peanut's thyroid gland is forming.

*The amniotic sac is about the size of a grape.

*Peanut has doubled in size in the last nine days! Peanut is about 2 millimeters long.

*Peanut's brain and backbone are forming, and he/she also has a little tail.

Our first OB appointment is June 25th - three weeks from today. Can't wait!
