8 Week Old Peanut!

Itty bitty baby bump at 8 weeks pregnant

Alright, everyone! This is a blog solely about Peanut and his progress into the world. The goal of this blog is to be primarily about Peanut than about myself. Sooo, introducing PEANUT!

Peanut at his 8 week ultrasound

In this 8 week ultrasound, I saw Peanut for the first time and I was so amazed he was SO incredibly tiny! His heart beat was at 183BPM which at first scared me, but baby heartbeats are much faster than ours! At this point in time, the pregnancy calendar had this to say:

"Woohoo! You've got one whole inch of baby inside of you!
What's more, your baby is finally starting to take on some very distinct human features. For starters, their little tail (really just the spinal cord) has disappeared completely. Both their toes and fingers are prominent with very little, if any, webbing. Upper and lower limbs all show recognizable joints (elbows and knees) and the lower limb bones are starting to ossify."
