i am now 18 weeks, although baby is only 16 weeks old. baby measures 5 to 5 and a quater inches long; from crown to rumpus. and weighs roughly 6 ounces.
there is no stopping baby now as baby begins the most active phasee. twisting, turning, wriggling, punching, and kicking... generally giving the reflexes a good work out. inside babys fast-growing lungs, tiny air sacs called alveoli begin to develop. pads have formed on the finger tips and toes, and the unique swirls and whorls that are babys fingerprints begin to appear. babys eyes have moved to their correct position. meconium, which forms babys first bowel movement, is accumulating in his bowels. (already??). if baby is a boy, his prostate gland is forming.
this is all very interesting, i feel baby move more and more each day, i love it. it definately is a feeling you can't describe, nothing on the outside would make a feeling like something on the inside. you know?
