Week 5- Sesame Seed

Mommy is still feeling great! I have not been sick or feeling any other pregnancy symptoms! I am still praying for you and that you are developing healthily.

 We decided to tell the Shanahan side today! Grandma Cindi, Great Grandma Phyllis and Uncle Dave came over for a visit. I told Grandma Cindi that I had a card for her. When she opened it, it said "Grandbaby on the way!" She shrieked and said, "really?!" Everyone got teary eyed and hugged. I also gave Grandma Cindi the book, "I Loved You Before I Knew You." After that, Grandpa Jeff came over and your dad showed him the pink and green hunting onesies to tell him that we were expecting a baby. We also gave Grandpa Jeff a book called, "I Already Know I Love You."

Your Baby
Your baby now has millions of cells that are busy multiplying and creating the complex structures of your baby’s developing body. Your little one now has a two-chambered heart that is basically a tube that is twisted back onto itself. Believe it or not, this heart will start beating on or around day 21. Even the beginnings of the spinal column have started to form, as well as your baby’s skeleton structure. You likely wouldn’t recognise your baby at this point, as her or she resembles a tadpole and is only about the size of a sesame seed. Inside the comfort of your warm and cushioned uterus, your baby’s heart is beating regularly, and even facial features, such as tiny ears and eyes are beginning to form.
