The baby weighs about 10.5 ounces (300g) and measures about 7.2 inches (18cm) from crown to rump. He still moves about freely in amniotic fluid.
The baby may respond to external sounds, such as the music you are listening to or your voice.
The baby has developed some red blood cells already. The white blood cells that the baby needs to fight infections are being manufactured.
He is developing taste buds on his tongue.
His digestive system is sufficiently advanced to absorb water and sugar from the amniotic fluid that he swallows and pass it to his large bowel.
The baby has lanugo hair on his forehead and upper lip and his eyebrows are thickening.
Vernix (the waxy substance that covers and protects your baby's skin) accumulates on your baby's eyebrows.
The baby's eyes are still sealed shut.
The baby continues to grow and develop and his kicking is getting stronger now.

Hi Judy,
No, I am getting it from a website that I go to. Thanks, I know I should enjoy this while I am still in the "cute" stage!
Yes, the website is a good way to keep Mom in the loop.
