Baby NEEDS steak

9 weeks 1 day (LMP) 7 weeks 1 day (gestational)

The cravings for red meat are intense. I finally gave in last night and we went out to dinner and I ordered a nice steak that made both of us VERY happy. :) We still haven't found the heartbeat on our home doppler although we haven't exactly spent a great deal of time trying to either. Tomorrow is our ultrasound ... hopefully there is someone in my uterus. :)

From Visembryo: (this stuff is happening during the next week or so)

Spontaneous Involuntary Movement

Head and Neck

Brain is connected to tiny muscles and nerves and enables the embryo to make spontaneous movements. The scalp plexus is now present.

Nasal openings and the tip of the nose are fully formed.

Limbs

The upper limbs become longer and continue to bend at the elbows and extend forward.

Skin on the foot plate folds down between the future toes, each distinguishable from the other.

Pelvis

Anal membrane is perforated. Urogenital membranes differentiate in male and female embryos.

Testes or ovaries are distinguishable.
