goodness time has gone by so fast. i just can't get over it. SLOW DOWN... is all i got to say!
baby measures about 10 and a quater inches from head to butt!, and weighs about 2 and three quater pounds. (baby is only 27 weeks, although i am 29... weeks. :))
baby continues to fatten up as the brain and organs carry on growing. these soft tissues show up clearly on a magnetic resonance image (MRI) scan, which uses magnetic fields and radio waves. baby doesn't have much room now so baby can't show off her acrobatic skills, but is still managing to strech and kick me from the inside... and let me tell you... lots of streching and kicking there is!!
baby's brain is growing so quickly that the soft skull bones are being pressed outward, and the had is now in proportion to the rest of the body. the brain is looking more wrinkled as it gets faster and more powerful, building up connections between nerve cells. the brain can control breathing and body temperature. the eyes can move in their sockets and baby is becoming more sensitive to light, sound, taste, and smell. through the wall of the uterus baby can tell the difference between sunlight and artificial light. smart thing!
