8 Weeks!!!

Your baby is now 5/8 of an inch long, about the size of a kidney bean. She's constantly moving and shifting, although you won't be able to feel these womb wiggles for several weeks yet. Her embryonic tail is disappearing, and her eyelids practically cover her eyes. Still slightly webbed, her fingers and toes are growing longer. Her arms have lengthened, too, and her hands are now flexed at the wrist and meet over her heart. Her knee joints have formed, and her feet may be long enough to meet in front of her body. With her trunk straightening out, her head is more erect. Breathing tubes extend from her throat to the branches of her developing lungs. The nerve cells in her brain are also branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. Though you may be daydreaming about your baby as one gender or another, the external genitals still haven't developed enough to reveal whether you're having a boy or a girl.

Isn't it exciting!! I can't wait!!

Brookie and I went to the movies today, then McDonald's, then the library. She's been so hyper today!! No joke!! I was glad to go to McDonald's because they have this big play ground that she can just run and run on; wears her out everytime!! I love it!! Last night she had a nightmare...told me that "That fishy bite me!!". Once I got her calmed down and back into bed I realized how cute it was and tried night to laugh, her little voice was just so precious. So anyways, we went to the movies and Jonah and the Big Fish was playing.....go figure. She clinched me so tight when she saw that whale eat Jonah....Hope we don't have any problems tonight!! haha. Keep your fingers crossed!! :-/ The library was pretty good too. The Balloon man was there. I think all the kids enjoyed it!!

Well, we're on our way to Branson tomorrow!! I can't wait to leave Rogers!! I need a little break for a while. Brandon's getting off around lunch then heading home and I think we'll head out around 3pm. But I'm not for sure yet. Anyways, I won't be blogging any this weekend....but I'll try to have some pictures for you guys posted!!! Love you all!! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

Nikki, Brandon, and Brooklyn
