Week Number Nine

I just love to read about what is happening in a baby's development all through pregnancy. And to think .... some people refuse to believe it's a person... "just a embryo"! So if you're like me here's what's happening this week:

1. The baby is nearly an inch long -- about the size of a grape -- and weighs just a fraction of an ounce.
2. The essential body parts are accounted for, though they'll go through plenty of fine-tuning in the coming months.
3. Our baby's heart finishes dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form -- as do tiny teeth! (Teeth? Wow!)
4. The baby's organs, muscles, and nerves are kicking into gear.
