6 weeks Along and Going Strong...

The egg has now traveled through the fallopian tube and divided itself into identical cells...it was a ball of cells, safe in the womb, and split itself into the embryo and placenta. The amniotic sac and fluid formed a nice cushion for the baby...In week five the baby was the size of an apple seed and was beginning to form major organs like the heart, kidney, liver and stomach as well as the baby's nervous, circulatory and digestive systems. Now in my sixth week, the baby has grown to the size of a sweet pea! The baby is now starting to sprout the nose, eyes, ears, cheeks and chin. The hands and feet are webbed like paddles and might be wiggling by the end of the week! The heart is beating almost as twice as fast as mine and the blood is starting to circulate! What a beautiful and miraculous process God has created!
