7 weeks

Today is a big day for Mommy, Daddy, and the little lump of Cole.  Today, we have the first ultrasound at 2:30 p.m.  I am anxious, nervous, and most of all, excited.  I do not think 2:30 can get here fast enough. 

Today also marks 7 weeks.  Here is how the Mayo Clinic clinic describes the 7th week of pregnancy:

Seven weeks into your pregnancy, or five weeks after conception, your baby's brain and face are rapidly developing. Tiny nostrils become visible, and the eye lenses begin to form. The arm buds that sprouted last week now take on the shape of paddles. By the end of this week your baby may be 1/4 to 1/3 inch (7 to 9 millimeters) long — a little bigger than the top of a pencil eraser.

WOW, everything seems to grow so quickly.
