Eighteen Weeks
The Baby is the size of a sweet potato.
Head to rump, the baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a sweet potato) and weighs almost 7 ounces. Busy flexing its arms and legs. The blood vessels are visible through the thin skin, and ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from its head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around the nerves, a process that will continue for a year after birth. .
Can't wait to find out what this baby is...ready to stop refferring to the baby as "it".
Until next time! :)
