What's Wee Up To This Month? Installment Two

Month Two -- Weeks 5-8

Size -- In month two, Wee will grow from being a blastocyst (don't try to imagine how big that is -- I think that's a kind, scientific word for "too small to measure yet") to the size of a kidney bean, checking in as a sesame seed, a lentil, and a blueberry (almost fruit-sized!).

Development -- Wee's heart will start beating this month, and Wee will take all my energy to grow a brain and a spinal cord. I don't mind.

Appearance -- Eyes (dark spots for now), nostrils (more dark spots), ears (just holes for now), and arms/legs (including fingers and toes!) start growing this month, too.
