Your baby's crown-to-rump length is approximately 4 inches and she now weighs approximately 1.75 ounces. Your baby is close to the size of a softball and you can easily tell that you are pregnant now!
Your baby is growing at an amazing rate and looking more like a human every day. Because your baby's skin is so thin, you are able to see blood vessels through the skin. Lanugo hair covers your baby's body, but it will be gone when your baby is born. The hair on the eyebrows and head continues to grow. Some babies are born with little or no hair and others have a head full of hair! Even though the eyes continue to move to the front of the face, they are still widely separated. Your baby's ears look like normal ears and continue to develop externally. The bones that have already formed continue to get harder and retain calcium. The baby is very mobile and flexible at this point. She can bend her arms at the elbows and wrists and she can also make a fist with her hands.
Only 25 more weeks to go. Geez that seems so far away. But I guess since the last 15 have flew by-maybe the next 25 will do the same. I can't wait to meet our little munchkin.
I feel pretty good. I am slowly getting my energy back. SLOWLY. Nothing really new to report except that I am finally starting to look pregnant. Our next appointment is this Friday. I haven't really bought anything baby related yet. I guess we are just waiting to find out the sex and then its game on from there. But for now, we are just enjoying the holiday season and spending time with family and friends.
