Kidney Bean

According to babycenter.com, this is what is happening in my uterus this week:

"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."



If
you're expecting, and haven't signed up on baby center yet, you should. You get an email like this every week telling you what is happening with your body/baby. You can also have the same one sent to your partner or spouse. There's also tons of other information on their site, and there is a forum with other moms to answer any questions you have about your pregnancy.

The only weird thing about it is that they compare your baby to a food every week. We, of course, refer to the baby by that food name for that entire week.
