The baby: (according to "what to expect when your expecting): Your baby ( who has offically graduated from embryo to fetus) has grown to approximately 1 inch in length, about the size of a medium green olive. His or her head is continuing to develop and take on more baby-like proportions. This week,tiny muscles are starting to from. This will allow your fetus to move his or her arms and legs, though it'll be at least another month before you'll be able to feel those little punches and kicks. While its too early to feel anything,'it's not to early to hear something ( possibly). The glorious sound of your baby's heartbeat might be audible via Doppler device at your Drs office. Take a listen-it's sure to make your heart beat faster.

The baby: (according to "what to expect when your expecting): Your baby is growing up a storm, this week measuring about half an inch in length, or about the size of a large raspberry. And taht sweet little raspberry of yours is looking less reptilian and more human (happily), as his or her lips,nose,eyelids,legs,and back continue to take shape. And though its still too early to hear from the outside,your baby's heart is beating at the incredible rate of 150 times per minute ( thats twice as fast as your heart beats). Something else new this week: Your baby is making spontaneous movements ( twitches of the runk and limb buds too tine for you to feel)

The baby: (according to "what to expect when your expecting) Here is an amazing fact about your baby right now :He or she is 10,000 times bigger now then at conception- about the size of a blueberry. A lot of that growth is concentrated on the head (new brain cells are being generated at the rate of 100 cells per minute.)Your baby's mouth and tongue are forming this week and so are his or her arm and leg buds,which are beginning to sprout into paddle-like appendages and to divide into hand,arm,and shoulder segments-and leg,knee,and foot segments. Also in place now are your baby's kidneys,and they're poised to begin their important work of waste managemen(i.e urine production and excretion). At least you don't have to worry about dirty diapers yet!

The baby: (according to "what to expect when your expecting) Crown (head) to rump ( Bottom) measurments are used for babies in utero because their tiny, newly formed legs are bent, making it difficult to measure the full lenght of the body. How's the baby measuring up this week? The crown to rump measurments has reached somewhere between a fifth and a quarter of an inch ( no bigger then a nail head). This week also see the beginning of the development of your babies jaws cheeks and chin. Little indentations on both sides of the head will form into ear canals. small black dots on the face will form the eyes and a small bump onm the front of the head will turn into a button nose. Also taking shape this week; your babies kidneys,liver,and lungs.your babies tiny heart is beating 80 times per minute and getting faster each day - a stat thats probably got your heart racing.
