Second doctor appointment

We are in week 8.

Yesterday we had our second doctor appointment/first Ultrasound appointment. This was exciting for us. We got to hear the heartbeat and see the baby (or blob or kidneybean). Here are the pictures that the doctor took.

According to babycenter is here is how our baby is growing this week:

Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your baby's hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his "tail" is just about gone. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. You may be daydreaming about your baby as one sex or the other, but the external genitals still haven't developed enough to reveal whether you're having a boy or a girl. Either way, your baby — about the size of a kidney bean — is constantly moving and shifting, though you still can't feel it.

Next appointments:
