From What to Expect When You're Expecting: "[Our] little embryo, which at this point resembles a tadpole more than a baby (complete with teeny tail), is growing fast and furious and is now about he size of an orange seed - still small, but a lot bigger than it's been. This week, the heart is starting to take shape. In fact, the circulatory system, along with the heart, is the first system to be operational. [Our] baby's heart (about the size of a poppy seed) is made up of two tiny channels called heart tubes - and though it's still far from fully functional, it's already beating - something you might be able to see on an early ultrasound. Also in the works is the neural tube, which will eventually become [our] baby's brain and spinal cord. Right now the neural tube is open, but it will close by next week."As you can see from the ticker on the left, our baby already has more brain cells than Paris Hilton! Well, it said so during week 5 anyway!
Julie's belly at 5wk3d. She was standing a little weird; her tummy doesn't usually stick out like that, lol.
