Six Weeks!

Half an inch. That's the size of our little bean at six weeks. It's facial features are forming with dark spots where the eyes are, openings where the nostrils will be, and pits to mark the ears.

Little buds for arms and legs become more noticable this week and although you can't hear it yet, the babies heart (which has divided into the right and left chambers) is beating at about 150 beats a minute -- twice the rate of yours and mine.

Just a few more days and the baby will be making it's first movements! How thrilling! It gives me the goosebumps!

This of course, is best case scenario, but nausea is remaining steady so we're keeping our fingers crossed.
