And development continues

Today is day 36 so Rylee just finished her 5th week and is on to week number 6 in her pregnancy. 
During the remainder of week 5, the toes, whisker buds, and claws developed.  Fetuses look like dogs and gender can be determined!
Eyes that were previously open now close (When eyes are developing in the uterus, the eyes are developed in an open position and then they close and remain closed until about 10 days old or so.)
Fetuses have grown from 1/2 inch to over an inch. 
Courtesy of National Geographic ... this shows approximately what the puppies may look like now. 
Rylee is starting to get a little bigger but not too much yet.  I will put another picture of her up this week so we can start comparisons.
