You're a zucchini this week, little one! I'm so excited to see you on Monday when we have our ultrasound. You better be a good little zucchini and show-off for the doctor! Here's what you're doing this week:
How your baby's growing: Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces, and he measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the length of a small zucchini. His arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of his body now. His kidneys continue to make urine, and the hair on his scalp is sprouting. This is a crucial time for sensory development: Your baby's brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. If your baby is a girl, she has an astonishing six million eggs in her ovaries. They'll dwindle to fewer than two million by the time she's born.
You're getting hair now too -- so the big question is, are you going to be a little Dutch boy or girl and have blond hair and blue eyes like your mommy? Or are you growing curly brown hair like your daddy?
