Week Six, Already!

Hello, Dear Baby!

You have already been in Mommy's tummy for six weeks. Of course, we didn't know until last week, so the first four or five went by super-fast.

What are you doing? You're growing faster and faster! You're 7-9 millimeters long. Your hands are beginning to form! And you still have a tail. That's right, a tail. It's going to be your spinal column one day. You kind of look like a mermaid/merman right now. Your eyes, nose, and ears are starting to form.

Mommy is working hard to walk a little bit more every day, which will help keep both of us healthy. Mommy's class is very excited to know that there's a baby in her tummy! They will get to see pictures of how you're growing each week. Also, Mommy's got her first doctor's visit on the schedule! At 2:15 on April 4th Mommy will get to hear your heart beat for the first time.

This is such an exciting time, Baby. We are so glad to know you are here.

Love,
Your Mommy
