These dolls have begun to show me just how hard carrying around a child all day could be. They are awkward to carry and ( after about 3 hours of holding it) an annoying wieght.
Daddy blog- 3rd with baby
This Plastic baby is really starting to annoy me. Always having it around, no wonder I drive my parents nuts. And I do more than the baby. The most difficult part of this project though is always carrying it correctly, as with a real baby carrying it incorrectly can harm the child.
Daddy blog- 2nd with baby
Day to of the Plastic baby. I have come to realize just how awkward and difficult carrying the doll around can be. Plus the necessity to carry it in certain ways adds to the difficulty as your abilities and range of movement are restricted.
Daddy blog- !st with baby
The Introduction of the actual doll Helps me to see how having a new born affects someones life. Carrying the weight of the child combined with its awkward shape can make this project a real challenge. At least these kids only have to be carried.

Life card: Moms can occasionally begin to think you are gaining too much weight so they stop eating, during pregnancy. This is understandable for moms because they are not used to the weight gain and they may feel self- conscious. Moms should not stop eating though because through there not eating, the baby will also not eat. If a Mom does not eat while pregnant, the baby will not get the proper nutrients needed to grow. The spinal cord and brain of the growing fetus is easily damaged and requires a daily supply of 600 to 800 mcg folic acid. If un-received the child could develop certain medical issues. Lack of calcium rich foods stop the baby from forming healthy bones and teeth. Pregnant women who do not eat will not provide any milk, much less nutrient dense milk for the baby. A mom also can have problems if she doesn't eat. Anemia and cavities are just some of the health obstacles a pregnant woman will face if she stops eating while pregnant. Anemia depletes the mom of energy, oxygen and concentration as the fetus takes the mom's iron storage to survive. Similarly, the growing bones of the baby will leech calcium from the mother's if she is not eating.
Time Line
Week 17: Your baby, now about in its 15th week of development, measures about 4.4 to 4.8 inches from crown to rump and has doubled in weight in the last two weeks to about 3.5 ounces. Fat begins to form, helping your baby's heat production and metabolism. The lungs are beginning to exhale amniotic fluid, and the circulatory and urinary systems are working. Hair on head, eyebrows and eyelashes is filling in.
Week 18: Your baby measures 5 to 5.6 inches from crown to rump and weighs about 5.25 ounces. The rapid growth spurt is tapering off, but reflexes are kicking in. It can yawn, stretch and make facial expressions, even frown. Taste buds are beginning to develop and can distinguish sweet from bitter tastes. The baby will suck if its lips are stroked and it can swallow, and even get the hiccups. The retinas have become sensitive to light, so if a bright light is shined on your abdomen, baby will probably move to shield its eyes.
Week 19: Your baby measures about 5.2 to 6 inches from crown to rump and weighs about 7 ounces. Skin is developing and transparent, appearing red because blood vessels are visible through it. Creamy white protective coating, called vernix, begins to develop.
Week 20: The fetus measures about 5.6 to 6.4 inches from crown to rump and weighs about 9 ounces. Your baby can hear sounds by now -- your voice, heart and your stomach growling, as well as sounds outside your body. It will cover its ears with its hands if a loud sound is made near you, and it may even become startled and "jump." The baby is moving often, too -- twisting, turning, wiggling, punching and kicking.
Week 21: Your baby measures about 7.2 inches from crown to rump and weighs about 10.5 ounces. The fetus is steadily gaining fat to keep warm. Growth rate is slowing down but organ systems, like digestion, are continuing to mature. A waxy film, called the vernix caseosa, is being produced by your baby's oil glands and covers the skin to keep it supple in the amniotic fluid. Buds for permanent teeth are beginning to form.
Week 22: Your baby measures about 7.6 inches and weighs about 12.3 ounces. The muscles are getting stronger every week now, and the eyelids and eyebrows are developed. Your baby's acrobatics are pretty constant, and since he responds to sound, rhythm and melody, you can try singing and talking to him. After he's born, the same sounds will soothe him.
Week 23: Your baby is about 8 inches from crown to rump and weighs almost 1 pound. The body is becoming proportioned more like a newborn, but skin is still wrinkled because your baby still has more weight to gain. Lanugo hair on the body sometimes turns darker.
Week 24: Your baby, now about in its 22nd week of development, is 8.4 inches from crown to rump and weighs about 1.2 pounds. It is starting to produce white blood cells, mostly for combating disease and infection, and may respond to your touch or sounds. If you haven't felt hiccups yet, you might feel some jerking motion now.

Life Card- Our life card has stated that we will be moving and this will with no doubt cause stress on the mother. During Pregnancy excessive stress is known to cause mental issues to the child such as increased risk for preterm birth and low birth weight, stress is thought to contribute to the racial disparities in infant birth weight, infant death and premature Birth
Time Line
Week 8: Your baby will be about 8-11 mm CR by the end of the week. The baby's hind brain is clearly visible. This week the baby's gonads will become either testes or ovaries. Movement begins to occur. Elbows appear and the process of ossification (hardening of the bones) begins.
Week 9: Your baby is now approximately 13-17 mm head to butt length, or about 0.51 - 0.66 inches. S/he also weighs in at 1 gram. Toe rays are present as the toes begin to form. Gonads have become testes (for boys) or ovaries (for girls). Baby will move away if touched through the uterine wall, and can spontaneously move as well.
Week 10: The baby now enters its fetal period. The average size is approximately 27-35 mm head to butt length, or 1.06-1.38 inches. S/he weighs in at 4 grams, or 4 paper clips. Tiny toes have formed. The eyes are largely open, but the eyelids are beginning to fuse, and will stay that way until
25-27 weeks. External genitalia is beginning to be identified. Ears are formed, as is the upper lip.
Week 11: If you have seen pictures of baby at this stage you will notice that the head is about 1/2 of the body size. This will change as the baby grows. The iris will begin to develop this week and finger nails appear. The baby weighs about 7 grams.
Week 12: While your baby's brain is not the same size it will be at birth, it does have the same structure. Bile is being secreted by this time. S/he weighs about 14 grams and is approximately 3.54 inches in total length.
Your baby has its reflexes and also practice movements in the digestive tract.
Week 13: There are a lot of things going on this week! All twenty teeth have formed and are waiting. Your baby approximately weighs in at 1 ounce (28.3 grams).
Week 8: Your baby will be about 8-11 mm CR by the end of the week. The baby's hind brain is clearly visible. This week the baby's gonads will become either testes or ovaries. Movement begins to occur. Elbows appear and the process of ossification (hardening of the bones) begins.

Week 14: The baby is now about 4.92 inches. Your baby is now producing urine and actually urinating into the amniotic fluid. It also can practice "breathing" the amniotic fluid in and out of its lungs.
Week 15: Your baby may have developed the habit of sucking his or her thumb! The skin is very thin and you can see the blood vessels clearly underneath.The baby is about 70 grams. The scalp hair pattern is developing. And the heart is pumping about 25 quarts of blood a day. This will increase to about 300 at term.
Week 16: Your baby's nails are well formed, and some babies are even in need of having their nails trimmed at birth. The ears have also moved from the neck to the head. Your baby is emptying his or her bladder every 40-45 minutes. The limb movements are becoming more coordinated. Your baby is about 3 ounces (85 grams) and 6.3 inches (16 cms).

Cell Differentiations the word for when cells begin to differentiate. Cell differentiation is a process in which a non-specific cell develops into a certain type of cell in response to triggers from the body or the cell. This allows single celled organisms to develop into multi-cellular organisms.
The steps in Cell Differentiation are the:
The steps in Cell Differentiation are the:
Morula stage,
the Blastula stage,
the Gastrula stage,
and the Neurula stage.
Germ Layers:
Endoderm
The endoderm produces tissues within the lungs, thyroid, and pancreas.
The endoderm is one of the germ layers formed during embryogenesis. The endoderm creates: the stomach, the colon, the liver, the pancreas, the urinary bladder, the lining of the urethra, the epithelial parts of trachea, the lungs, the pharynx, the thyroid, the parathyroid, and the intestines.
Mesoderm
The mesoderm helps in the production of cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, tissues within the kidneys, and red blood cells.
The mesoderm germ layer forms in the embryos of triploblastic animals. During gastrulation, some of the cells move inward and contribute to the mesoderm, an additional layer between the endoderm and the ectoderm.
The mesoderm creates: skeletal muscle, the skeleton, the dermis of skin, connective tissue, the urogenital system, the heart, blood (lymph cells), and the spleen.

Ectoderm
The ectoderm produces tissues within the epidermis, helps in the formation of neurons within the brain, and builds melanocytes. The ectoderm is the start of a tissue that covers the body surfaces. It emerges first and forms from the outside of the germ layers. The ectoderm makes: the central nervous system, the lens of the eye, cranial and sensory, the ganglia and nerves, pigment cells, head connective tissues, the epidermis, hair, and mammary glands.
