What the baby looks like this week: From now on she will be measured head-to-toe, instead of the head-to-rump measurements so that puts her at 10 1/2 ounces now.and about 6 1/2 inches long — the length of a banana. Her heartbeat can be heard with just a regular old stethoscope now and not just the fancy doppler. She is swallowing and practicing other digestive skills, and can now produce meconium, which is essentially prenatal poop that sits in the bowels during pregnancy.

Belly Shot:

What the baby looks like this week: She is about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom. Her arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of her body now. She is now fully assembled; just needs some fattening up and lengthening out. Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear our voice now, so looks like its time to start reading aloud, talking to her, and singing to her. Oh yeah!Her kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on her scalp is sprouting.
