Wee little Pinkey has completed the most critical part of development. He/She is about the size of a lime. Fingernails and toenails are growing this week as well as peach fuzz hair. Baby is starting to swallow fluids and is kicking up a storm (mom still can't feel though). Baby can now bend his or her hands at the wrist and meet over the heard and the feet may be long enough to meet in front of the body. The outline of the spine is clearly visible and spinal nerves are beginning to stretch out from the spinal cord. Our baby's forehead temporarily bulges with his or her developing brain and sits very high on the head. The head measures half the length of his or her body. From that genius brain to baby's rump, baby is about 1 1/4 inches long and will nearly double in size this week.
This week, Daddy took pictures of mommy's bump but mom can't find her cord to upload them to the computer. As soon as she finds her cord you will begin to see pictures of me.
