Have been reading today all about the various stages of foetal development, on Baby Center, which is a wealth of information for parents and parents-to-be.
The rate at which a small tadpole turns into a fully functioning mini-dad or mini-mum is staggering.
At the moment we are at week 5, at which time the embryo (not a foetus until week 8 - 21 days to go!) has a heart about the size of a poppy seed, and it's starting to beat about 150 times a minute - isn't that amazing!!
I can tell that it's going to be an arduously long road ahead, even til 8 weeks, which is our first milestone! My fingers and toes are perma-crossed!
