Belly Bump- 7.5 weeks


Could there possibly be a change already or is it my new obsession with ice cream that's creating the illusion?
Baby: Baby's brain is growing and developing. The heart has divided into right & left chambers. Eyelid folds are forming and the tip of the nose is present. Baby has been very busy growing and is now just slightly smaller than a pinto bean!
Bryce: What a guy! Happily offers mama-to-be nightly back/neck massages, and is getting excited to see baby's heartbeat at our first Dr.'s appointment next week.
Cara: Whatever you do, don't offer me meat! YUCK!

Belly Bump - 6 Weeks

6 WEEKS into the journey...
Baby: The little embryo is only slightly bigger than a sesame seed at this point! Heart contractions begin this week, and small limb buds (future QB throwing arm as Bryce sees it!) are developing.
Bryce: Is so excited! Secretly (or not so secretly!) hoping for a little linebacker.
Cara: Feeling good so far! Naps & ice cream are my new BFF's.
