eighteen weeks.


baby<3
*Head to rump, baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and weighs almost 7 ounces. she or he is busy flexing arms and legs. 

*baby's blood vessels are visible through thin skin, and his or her ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from the head a bit. a protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his or her nerves, a process that will continue for a year after baby is born.

*If I'm having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If i'm having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound - he better not!!
