New this week: Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your baby’s hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his “tail” is just about gone. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. You may be daydreaming about your baby as one sex or the other, but the external genitals still haven’t developed enough to reveal whether you’re having a boy or a girl. Either way, your baby — about the size of a kidney bean — is constantly moving and shifting, though you still can’t feel it.

The development at week 8 is truly amazing! It’s incredible how much growth happens in such a short time—from tiny webbed fingers and toes to the formation of neural pathways. Even though you can’t feel the movements yet, knowing your little one is already active makes the journey even more exciting. Whether boy or girl, this stage is full of anticipation and wonder. Enjoy every moment of this beautiful journey! 💕
