January 11th... The day after Cookie's due date!
YOUR BABY THIS WEEK
Your baby is two weeks old! He or she is still teeny-tiny, from 0.014 inches to 0.04 inches (1.2 mm)—smaller than a grain of rice.
Your Baby: During this time, the embryo is busy imbedding deeper into your uterus, establishing a strong and healthy bond. The amniotic sac, a protective membrane that surrounds your baby during pregnancy, has also begun to form. As time goes on, the sac will help produce hormones (primarily progesterone) and transmit nutrients from your body to your baby. At this point, three distinct layers of cells are also starting to form: • the ectoderm, which will form the nervous system (including the brain), skin and hair, • the endoderm, which will become the lining of your baby's gastrointestinal tract, plus their liver, pancreas and thyroid glands, • the mesoderm, which will form the skeleton, connective tissue, blood system, urogential system and muscles.
Pray for a sticky, healthy lil monkey!
