After all these busy days, I can finally sit down to write down this. Yes, this is a private and secret time between me and bigger bean bean (should have grown up a bit now). So far, my changes are:
The change 1 and 2 are different from the time when I had Jacob. It is interesting to contrast it to the reaction of Jacob at week 6 . From now on, I should record the journey down at least once a week. So, i am responsible for their record of life before their arrival and Daddy is responsible for their record of life afterward (ha ha, Daddy's work is much harder =p).
According to Pregnancy.org, here is the development at week 5, it serves a good reminder for me to take care of myself because all the major developments are happening right now which will affect his/her whole life!! Have to be extremely careful!! That is why I feel better during weekend (having more rest).
Week Five
Week Six
- The arms and legs continue to develop - These limbs are stretching out more and more. Later on you will be feeling those feet and elbows up close and personal right in your bladder!
- Brain is growing well - Did you know that over the course of the remaining months that your baby's brain will develop over 100 billion neurons? This is just the beginning!
- Lenses of the eyes appear - If you could catch a glimpse inside, you would notice your baby's appearance becoming increasing like a newborn's.
- Nostrils are formed - The position of the nose seems to shift into its proper place as well. Soon, the nerves running from the nose to the brain appear.
- Intestines grow - Initially these are actually located outside the baby's body within the umbilical cord.
- Pancreas - Your baby is now equipped to deal with digestive enzymes and take on processing the insulin and glucagons the body needs to function.
