And in the 8th week, there was a thunderstorm!


You are now 8 weeks old. Here is a picture of what you look like. Unfortunately, I didn't take a picture of my belly, but you are getting bigger, which is evident by the fact that I can only wear one pair of pants.

This week, your daddy and I went to Grand Central to see a band....and it was LOUD! As I sipped on a cranberry juice, Daddy said he wondered what you thought of the noise. He thinks you're like him and probably doesn't want to be disturbed. "QUIET OUT THERE....Don't you guys know I'm trying to sleep????" He says that you elbowed me, but I can't feel any of that yet. You're still too tiny and haven't begun to move just yet!

Week Eight

  • Cartilage and bones begin to form - At the end of this week you will have already completed 1/5th of the journey to your birthday!
  • The basic structure of the eye is well underway - The position is more "newborn" like already!
  • The tongue begins to develop
  • Intestines move out of the umbilical cord into the abdomen.
  • Body grows and makes room - Two months along and this little one is growing inside and out by leaps and bounds!
  • The fingers and toes have appeared but are webbed and short
  • Baby's length (crown to rump) is 0.61 inch (1.6cm) and weight is 0.04 ounce (1gm)
Today just so happens to be your Grandfather Orvis' birthday.
Happy birthday Dad! We couldn't send him too much, but we
promised a much BIGGER gift would come in December!
