According to Babycenter.com you are about 11 inches long (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound! You are starting to look like a miniature newborn. Your lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and you are even developing tiny tooth buds beneath your gums. Your eyes have formed, but your irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment.
If we could see inside Mommy's belly, we would be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers your body and the deep wrinkles on your skin, which you'll sport until you add a padding of fat to fill them in. I remember seeing these deep wrinkles on your cousin, Nevaeh during one of her 3D/4D ultrasounds and I worried that she wouldn't fill them in with baby fat.....now I know differently! :-) Inside your belly, your pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily!
Mommy and Daddy had a Lamaze class this past weekend.....and they get to see you on an ultrasound tomorrow! I hope they get a video for me to watch and of course some pictures to post! I am looking forward to seeing how long you are now and how much you might weigh. Most importantly, we are hoping to see that the placenta has moved off of Mommy's cervix so she can go back to normal activity and work.
Love you bunches!
Grandma Dason
