16weeeeeeks.

baby<3

*get ready for a growth spurt. in the next few weeks, baby will double his or her weight and add inches to his or her length. right now, he's about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces.

*baby's legs are much more developed, his or her head is more erect than it has been, and his or her eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. baby's ears are close to their final position, too. the patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. baby's even started growing toenails.

*and there's a lot happening inside as well. for example, baby's heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as baby continues to develop.
