9 WEEKS

So today I started my 9th week. I used the same sources as before for this week as well. Only I went to the next week.

My baby is now growing 20-28 milimeters. All of its major vital organs are developed. It is now active even though I can't feel it. The eyelids are forming. The trunk is elongating and straightening. The intestines are moving from the umbilical cord to the baby as the baby is getting bigger. The baby has toes and fingers, but they are webbed. The tongue is developing. The bones are cartiliidge are hardening.

That is really all that is going on with the baby right now. It is exciting to know that the baby is almost a whole person already, just really tiny. I can't imagine a whole person being so small.
