Dear Peanut,
This week you are developing your nose, mouth, and ears that I will be spending so much time kissing in eight months! Right now you have an oversized head and dark spots where your eyes and nostrils are starting to form. Your emerging ears are marked by small depressions on the sides of the head, and your arms and legs by protruding buds. Your heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute — almost twice as fast as mine— and blood is beginning to course through your body. Your intestines are developing, and the bud of tissue that will give rise to your lungs has appeared. Your pituitary gland is forming, as are the rest of your brain, muscles, and bones. Right now, you are a quarter of an inch long, about the size of a lentil.
Mommy and I are tempted to take a sneak peek at you through an ultrasound, but want to be sure we are in the window of a definite heartbeat....since it is sometime this week that yours will start beating if it hasn't already.....PRAYING YOU ARE HEALTHY AND GROWING ON TRACK!
Love, Grandma Dason
