Week 7

We’re now in Week 7 of our pregnancy and our baby is now about the size of a blueberry... (AMAZING!!!). The baby looks like a comma with a huge head and tiny body because brain cells are being generated at a rate of 100 per minute (which is why I’m sticking to sparkling cider tonight!!!) The baby’s mouth and tongue are forming and he/she is sprouting arm and leg buds. And… something I found as weird and even a little gross is the baby’s little kidneys are getting ready to do their job (pee production and excretion). The baby is going to be peeing inside me? What? This is not something I need to be learning when I’m already queasy!!! (which is, by the way, about 10,000 times bigger than he/she was at conception!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR BABY STRAUB!
