I found this in my email this morning...I can't believe it would be week 6 already...
The first heartbeats have begun! The heart is dividing into chambers and will soon find a more regular rhythm. The embryo itself is about a quarter of an inch long and looks more like a tadpole than a human. It undergoes a tremendous growth spurt this week. Major organs, including the kidneys and liver, begin to grow. The neural tube, which connects the brain and spinal cord, will close this week. The embryo's upper and lower limb buds begin to sprout forming your baby's arms and legs. The intestines are developing and the appendix is in place. Facial features are already forming. Nostrils are becoming distinct, and the earliest versions of the retinas of the eyes are forming. Your baby is smaller than a grain of rice, with a beating heart about the size of a poppy seed.
That is the image they send for reference...
