Twenty-Two Weeks
The baby is the size of (length of) a papaya.
He will remain in this size catagory until 25 weeks.
Baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.
Sorry it has taken so long to get this picture up here, I have just been so busy from getting the room ready to wrapping up the baby registry. I will try to stay more on top of it, but I am sure that as it gets closer to the end it will get harder and harder.
