6 Week Update!!

This past weekend (the beginning of wk 6 of our pregnancy) we headed to Washington DC for Caitlin's wedding.  We had a great time and were able to do some sight seeing as well!  It was really difficult being around our friends and not being able to spill the beans about "BB" or "Baby Bland"!!  Below are some pics from the weekend.

Below is some information from Babycenter.com about Week 6:

How your baby's growing:

This week's major developments: The nose, mouth, and ears that you'll spend so much time kissing in eight months are beginning to take shape. If you could see into your uterus, you'd find an oversize head and dark spots where your baby's eyes and nostrils are starting to form. His emerging ears are marked by small depressions on the sides of the head, and his arms and legs by protruding buds. His heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute — almost twice as fast as yours — and blood is beginning to course through his body. His intestines are developing, and the bud of tissue that will give rise to his lungs has appeared. His pituitary gland is forming, as are the rest of his brain, muscles, and bones. Right now, your baby is a quarter of an inch long, about the size of a lentil bean.
