Watching my Belly Grow: 8 Weeks with Pictures!!!

OK so we are 8 weeks along as of today. The nausea is getting pretty bad. Today I could barely eat anything. What was worse was that some of the nausea was brought on by an empty stomach but there wasn't much I could do. Ugh! It was the first time I got close to actually 'getting sick' so I am sure it's just around the corner... I hope it gets better soon! I would like to go without having to take some meds but we shall see how the rest of the weeks pans out.

Here is the explanation of what is going on with the baby this week:

Your baby is now 5/8 of an inch long, about the size of a kidney bean. 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. His arms have lengthened, too, and his hands are now flexed at the wrist and meet over his heart. His knee joints have formed, and his feet may be long enough to meet in front of his body. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways.

Joe and I started to take some photos at week 6 so I have posted those below. Now keep in mind... I had a tummy to start out with so what you see is not a baby bump yet... but it wont be long!
