In theory my olive is still an embryo because it has the remains of a small tail, which will disappear in the next few weeks. But that's the only thing that's getting smaller. The heart and brain are becoming more complicated, the eyelid folds are forming, the tip of the nose is present, and the arms now bend at the elbows and curve slightly over the heart.
Olive has distinct, slightly webbed fingers and toes (AW!). It's a jumping bean, moving in fits and starts (so thats what the odd crampy feelings are...) Apparently its liver is churning out large amounts of red blood cells until the bone marrow forms and takes over this role. Right now, the teeth and palate are forming, while the ears continue to develop. Olive's skin is paper thin, and veins are clearly visible.
Wow...
