WEEK 1-2
Mommy, you and daddy’s health are so important when forming me! Did you know that your doctor starts to measure your estimated due date from the very first day of your menstrual cycle? I am actually not made yet.
WEEK 3
Finally, Daddy’s sperm has fertilized me, the egg, and my gender is already determined! I am alive! Jesus knows me by name!
WEEK 4
I finally found my way into my home, Mommy. The spotting you see is normal, it is only me burrowing myself into your uterus. Although not all women experience it.
WEEK 5
My baby, do you know that by now you have developed three layers! The ectoderm, that will develop into the nervous system. The mesoderm that will develop into the reproductive system, kidneys, heart, bones, muscles. The third is a simple tube called the endoderm. This will later on develop into the bladder, pancreas, liver and intestines.
WEEK 6
Mommy, my heart has started beating! I am now called an embryo and am 1/17 of an inch long.
I feel most of my organs beginning to form, my eyes, my ears! My umbilical cord is lengthening and I’m stating to grow four buds that will form into my arms and legs!
WEEK 7
Mommy, I feel so many changes going on. My arms and legs are getting longer and my fingers and toes are starting to form. Even my brain is growing fast. My eyes have lenses and my nose are forming nostrils. My intestines are growing. My pancreas and bronchi are forming for my lungs! Mommy, I’m getting excited! I’m starting to take form!
