six weeks or Seven

I was not real sure how to title this post at first. I just posted about my computer woes and the five weeks wait issue and well I have so much more to say about that, but I need to wait for another day. My head is spinning from all my computer angst and I just want to say.

I finally decided a good title for this post would be six weeks or Seven. I am not able to decide which would be better so I will just go with both. And this is what I have to say about that:

  • The upper and lower lips are forming.
  • The tongue is developing.
  • The eye is obvious, reflecting the fact that the retinal pigment has formed.
  • The upper and lower eyelid primordia appear.
  • The primordia of the fingers, called digital rays, start to develop.
  • Hiccups first occur.
  • The ends of the limb buds become flattened to form foot plates.
  • The oral cavity is developing.
  • Spontaneous movements, such as twitching of the trunk and limbs, have been reported.
  • The pelvis is developing.
  • Movement of the muscles is being controlled by the nervous system.
  • The heart is contracting at a rate of 40 to 80 beats per minute, as measured with an electrocardiogram.
  • The salivary glands begin to develop.
  • Startles first occur.
  • The aorta is developing.
  • Ear swelling is present.
  • The oral and nasal cavities are confluent.
  • All of the muscle blocks have appeared.
  • The pancreas is developing.
  • The thyroid is developing.

Now do you understand six weeks or Seven? Go ahead; explain.

  14. Congrats! Siete bebes! I saw a quote the other day that read, “Yes, I DO know how this happens and apparently I am rather good at it.” ROLF. I secretly hope that you do have so many that you cannot count them, so I can quietly sneak one of the cuties for my own. ;) I hope that you feel great this time around! Let me know if I need to help arrange a mental/pre-natal health day anytime soon, and I’ll be checking the paper for passenger vans.
