From my babycenter.com email notice:
Hello Crissy!
You are 5 weeks pregnant--245 days to go!
Your baby is about the size as a sesame seed, and he looks more like a tiny tadpole than a human. The big development this week: Your baby's brain is beginning to grow! It develops from the neural tube, a structure that will also spawn your baby's spinal cord, nerves, and back bone. Since folic acid helps prevent neural tube defects such as spina bifida, you can see why it's so important to take it while tryin to conceive and early pregnancy. In the meantime, the primitive placenta and umbilical cord, which deliver nutrients and oxygen to your baby, are already on the job.
