I have always loved chili, taco casserole, and salads that I get to throw kidney beans on. They are such a delicious little bean. I am now able to add another reason to loving them. This week my baby is the size of a kidney bean. Isn't that exciting?!
What I also love about this week (week 8) is that the baby is already showing some of daddy's characteristics. I know, you're probably thinking, How do I know? The baby is too small to tell that.
Wrong! The baby has webbed toes and hands. Jason has webbed toes. =) Yes, the baby will grow out of the webbing, but it's fun thinking that right now it's like his daddy. And, telling Jason this, though he knows the baby will grow out of it, he was pretty stoked.
I love reading about the baby's developements, but it's more fun to see Jason's reaction to the baby's latest developements. After reading updates for this week, he said, "Really?! That's all happening this week?"
What I never knew is that the first few months is when the baby develops and forms. The rest of the pregnancy is making sure it continues to grows normally. There may be more developements, but the brain, liver, lungs, eyes, arms, legs, etc are all already growing. I use to think that the baby acquires all their organs and functions throughout the pregnancy. Now I realize how important the first few months of pregnancy are and how you as the mom have to be on top of your diet and exercise. This baby relies on me for everything! What a huge responsibility.
