Our Baby This Week

By this week our baby weighs two and one quarter pounds (like a head of cabbage) and measures about 14.8 inches from the top of his head to his heels. He can blink his eyes, which now sport lashes. With his eyesight developing, he may be able to see the light that filters though my womb. He is also developing millions of neurons in his brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.
This week starts my third trimester...home stretch, here I come!
