Baby's Four-Week Update


My Baking Time:

Medically 4 Weeks, technically 2-ish weeks - I'm an embryo!

from BabyCenter.com

What's New:

My neural tube has formed - this is where my brain, spinal cord and backbone will form - and I'm already hanging out in my amniotic sac, aka "home" for the next several months.

My placenta is also starting to form & reach out for momma's blood supply...until it's ready, I'm being taken care of by the yolk sac. (Isn't my Abba amazing?!?!?! 😃 )

I also have three "germ" layers - first is the endoderm that is where my lungs and most of my vital organs will come from.

Second layer is the mesoderm where my heart and skeleton will come from.

The last layer is the ectoderm and that is where my nervous system will come from.

How Big Am I:

According to momma's app I am the size of a poppy seed, about 0.05 inches long

Doctor:

Momma has picked a doctor's office for the two of us! She hasn't been in to see them yet let alone call them, but my momma likes to be prepared...she's been researching this a while 😉


Momma's Suspicious:

Poor momma, she's been feeling kinda yucky lately - she caught a cold this week. I've also started making her feel really really drained lately.

She was supposed to start her period this week, but she wasn't feeling "right"...

What is Happening On the Farm: 

Momma and Daddy went to the Vermont Farm Bureau annual meeting in Manchester, Vermont. They learned about how social media can be used to share their farming story (Momma already has a Facebook page). The dinner was super yummy and they made some new friends.

Uncle Peter has been combining more beans, he hopes to be done tomorrow. Then he says we have to get them roasted (whatever that means). He'll combine some corn next week.

I've got a lot to learn about farming!

Cow is excited to meet me!
