Week 8

This week, baby is developing:

-  A cuter face (eyelids, nose, upper lip)

-  Taste buds

-  Fingers and toes

-  A strong heartbeat

-  The placenta (4 more weeks until baby plugs into your system!)

This week, YOU are developing:

-  More breast tissue 

-  More blood

Look at those litte arms and legs! They're moving like crazy now!

What to remember to add to your daily menu:

-  Water

-  Prenatal Vitamins
-  Iron-rich foods
-  Foods with more protein

While your body is building more breast tissue, it will thank you for eating healthy proteins and fats. For some good sources of protein, click here.

To support the extra blood production, be sure to drink water and make iron-rich foods part of your daily cuisine.

Just for fun, did you know that your baby is the size of a gummy bear this week?
