What changes are occurring with your body?
You can now feel the top of your uterus about ¾ of an inch above your belly button. As we talked about last week, many women describe this as a comfortable period of pregnancy.*
How big is your baby?
Your baby is almost 10 inches long and weighs a whole 14 ounces.*
What is happening with your baby?
Your baby has pretty much taken on the form of a newborn baby, but is incredibly small. Much development will continue to occur over the next 18 weeks. His or her skin appears wrinkly, but this is because he/she has not yet gained enough weight to fill the skin out. The lips are becoming more distinct. The eyes have completely formed, but the iris (the colored portion of the eye) still lacks pigment. The eyelids and eyebrows are in place, and the pancreas is continuing to mature.*
This baby feels like he weighs more than 14 oz. and he moves around like crazy! Steven actually felt him moving last night which was totally awesome. Steven was talking to him about our crazy weekend and all the things that we did and he started dancing around in my belly.
