Right now, our baby's heart is made up of two tiny channels called heart tubes — and they're already hard at work. When those tubes fuse together, our baby will have a fully functioning heart. Also in the works this week are several other organs, including the neural tube (the precursor to our baby's brain and spinal cord), which hasn't yet sealed, but by next week, it will be.
Our little embryo is already the size of an orange seed and looks like a tadpole, with a rudimentary head and a tail. I got a little one swimmin in my belly :)
