Baby Scarborough is 8 weeks, 1 day old...
Heart beat is 160 bpm. It's little arm buds were crossed in all of the pictures and the eye sockets are beginning to form. There is still a little tail (according to our books). The big black circle is the amniotic sac; there another circle around the baby (you can see it in some of the pictures), which is enclosed along with the yolk sac to nourish the baby until the baby attaches to the placenta through the umbellical cord. The doctor says the spine looks great and that Baby Scarborough is progressing along beautifully. The baby has grown to one inch - about the size of a peanut (------- roughly this big). I've lost 1 lb but am still feeling good most of the time! My next doctor's appointment in mid-November; hopefully we'll have more to share then. Blake is doing well too and is enjoying his extra control over the TV while I get some sleep.
