8 weeks old

Dear Baby,
You are 8 WEEKS OLD today :) According to babycenter.com, you are now about 5/8 of an inch and about the size of a kidney bean. Here's what the article says about an 8 week old baby:

How your baby's growing:

New 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.

And here's a picture of a kidney bean which I guess is about the same size as a quarter:

Tomorrow is our FIRST appointment to see the doctor. Actually, we're going to see a nurse tomorrow because Mommy hasn't picked an OBGYN for us yet. Mommy's mommy did suggest someone so I think we'll request for her the next time we have our appointment. I am so excited to see and hear what they will tell me about you tomorrow. Your Daddy is getting off work early so he can join us and since my Mom works at the same hospital she's going to visit us during our appointment too. I think we might even get to hear your heart beat tomorrow :0)
As excited as I am, Mommy is kind of scared too :( I just hope and pray that EVERYTHING is OK and that you're healthy in my tummy. I will be sure to ask A LOT of questions. I wonder what kind of questions I should be asking at this early stage of pregnancy though....

Mommy Labshyoo!
