How your baby's growing: 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.
See what's going on in your uterus this week. (Or see what fraternal twins look like in the womb this week.)
Note: Every baby develops a little differently — even in the womb. Our information is designed to give you a general idea of your baby's development.

In other news Aidan went pee on the potty for the first time yesterday! It was really frustrating to be honest! He's just not ready and I know it. I just hate how I feel pressured to potty-train him by like everyone. I'm hoping now that he's done it once, he won't be so scared to do it again. Yes, that's right. He's TERRIFIED of sitting on the potty. I have no clue why, he just is. *sigh*

I think it's cute that s/he loses a tail. :)
I hate to be the one to say it, but what a miracle! The whole process is just fascinating. You are a strong woman and a good mother, Ashlea. The world needs more mommies like you.
I gotta tell you, I'm getting girl vibes. It's a little early for me to commit to that prediction, but I've been right the past seven pregnancies...of course the odds are 50/50. :) How neat would it be to have a little Assie running around?
