From "conception" of our baby until now, (four weeks) our baby has grown in some interesting ways. At weeks one and two, our baby was not visible yet. But at week three, our baby was just a mass of cells, about the size of the head of a pin consisting of around 100 cells. The outer layer of cells of our baby will become the placenta, and the inner layer will become the embryo. At week four, the cells are specialized according to their specific function. The outer layer will become the nervous system, skin and hair; the inner layer will be the respiratory and digestive organs; and the middle layer will become the skeleton, bones, cartilage, muscles, circulatory system, kidneys, and sex organs. Our baby is now about the size of a sesame seed.
As for Mom, changes in attitude about the seriousness of pregnancy have begun to set in. As far as changes in physical mood and health, not much of a difference has been noticed. Now that the news has been recieved that Mom is pregnant, some changes in behavior must be made. No smoking, drinking, drugs etc. (not that anyone has ever done that before;) always keeping in mind that another life is within.
