8 weeks -- we have a kidney bean!!

baby block is now the size of a kidney bean!

from babycenter.com:

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. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. You may be daydreaming about your baby as one sex or the other, but the external genitals still haven't developed enough to reveal whether you're having a boy or a girl. Either way, your baby — about the size of a kidney bean – is constantly moving and shifting, though you still can't feel it.

all this and my fatigue too! gosh, i'm tired. i can barely concentrate on my work, and i'm just beat from the minute i get up until the moment i get to sleep. sigh... but yay for the baby block growing!!
