For the curious side of you, below is from one of the millions of websites about babies. I am in week Six until approximately Thursday... here is what is says.

WEEK 6 of the baby

Your Baby's Development

This is a week of major developments as organs and parts of the body begin to take shape. Will your baby's eyes be brown, blue, green or hazel? It's much too early to know, but by week six the eyes are beginning to develop, and the earliest version of the retina is forming. Because the internal organs and limbs are in such an early stage of development, the embryo is very sensitive to any drugs, viruses or bacteria that might get past the placental barrier. Most birth defects begin between weeks four and eight of development (six to 10 weeks of pregnancy). Halfway through this week, the embryo will make her first movements, but you'll have to wait until your second trimester before you can actually feel your baby's wiggles. She's still very tiny…only about the size of a kidney bean, but this is a big week for your baby.

So many things are happening now!

• The neural tube, which connects the brain and spinal cord, will close this week. This is good news, because when the neural tube closes, baby is much less likely to develop brain or spine defects like spina bifida.

• The heart — still located on the outside of the body — is dividing into chambers and will find a more regular rhythm soon.

• Upper and lower limb buds are forming on the body and will eventually develop into arms and legs.

• The brain begins to fill Baby's tiny skull.

• The larynx and inner ear starts to form.

• Below the opening that will later form your baby's mouth are small folds where the neck and the lower jaw will eventually develop.

• Facial features are already forming as nostrils become distinct.

• Kidney, liver, pancreas, lungs, stomach, and intestines are developing, and the appendix is in place.

• The pituitary gland and muscle fibers are forming.

• The lining of the placenta begins developing.


WHEW i feel tired just reading all that.
