Make a pregnancy ticker
just realized this ticker changes.
so here is my pumkin from 4 weeks
our microscopic embryo is already hard at work this week creating the placenta, umbilical cord and the basics of his or her body.
The embryo is now made of three layers that will transform into the different parts of your baby's body. The endoderm, or inner layer, will become your baby's intestines, liver and lungs. The middle layer, or mesoderm, will become your baby's heart, sex organs, muscles, bones, and kidneys, and the ectoderm, or outermost layer, will develop into your baby's hair, skin, eyes, and nervous system. Believe it or not, your baby is already starting to look like a tiny little being (not necessarily a human being) complete with a head, a mouth opening and a primitive brain and heart.
By the end of this week, your baby measures about 1/25 inch long, about the size of a period (like the one at the end of this sentence, not the one you just missed).
he's still the size of a poppy seed, or half the size of an "o"
