8 Weeks!

For those of you who would like to be updated on how lil slug is doing, I have decided to give a weekly update thanks to 3D Pregnancy.com. I am due June 21st, so I am now 8 weeks (and 2 days) pregnant. Here is slug's growth for the week...


"By now your baby is approximately three-quarters of an inch (2 centimeters) long and weighs about a gram. He keeps on developing at a rapid speed: the beginnings of a skeleton are being created, with cartilage prior to the actual formation of bones. The little heart has started beating at about 60 times a minute, the stomach produces gastric juices, the liver makes blood cells and the brain starts working. Now the resemblance to a tadpole is quite clear, because webbed fingers and toes appear on the hands and feet! In the meantime, your little bean is growing pretty fast: less than two weeks ago he was the size of a grain of rice, now he's as big as your thumbnail."

Keep praying that everything will go as smoothly as it has so far!

Love you all!

Jes, Am, & Slug
