Week 6: Hmmm...who does he/she look like? his/her mom or dad?

How your baby's growing: This week's major developments: The nose, mouth, and ears that you'll spend so much time kissing in eight months are beginning to take shape.


Wow...there are going to have to be some changes before I'm kissing him/her.

Week 5: Our beautiful ectoderm!

I'm pretty sure we'll look back at these early days and think...boy, was it weird when this kid was just three layers and looked like a sesame seed-sized tadpole. -HMW

How your baby's growing:

Deep in your uterus your embryo is growing at a furious pace. At this point, he's about the size of a sesame seed, and he looks more like a tiny tadpole than a human. He's now made up of three layers — the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm — which will later form all of his organs and tissues.

Holy Crap.
