• What is the baby up to? My baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom. Baby's arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of body now. Baby's kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on his/her scalp is sprouting. A waxy, greasy, white substance and protective coating called the vernix caseosa (made of lanugo, oil nad dead skin cells is forming on his/her skin shielding it from the amniotic fluid. Picture yourself after a nine-month bath, and the need for protection makes sense.)
My baby's sensory development is exploding! His/her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some say that he/she may be able to hear my voice now, and reading aloud, talking to baby, or singing a happy tune is suggested.
