The baby is the size of an avocado.
Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double its weight and add inches to its length. Right now, about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. Its legs are much more developed, and the head is more erect than it has been, eyes have moved closer to the front of its head. Ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of the scalp has begun. It has even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, the heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.Watch what you say... tiny bones forming in the baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming.
As expected not much news about our appointment, blood work and of coarse we did get to listen to the heart beat. She had a heck of timegetting the little bugger to stay still to bea able to count the beats per minute. She did finally get it 156 BPM. But we deffinitley got a little mover on our hands. We go back in three weeks on June 16th to find out the sex of the baby. I will certainly keep you updated.
Until next time!! :)
