• What is the baby up to? Head to heels, baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. His weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but he's beginning to exchange his long, lean look for some baby fat. As he does, his wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and he'll start to look more and more like a newborn. He's also growing more hair — and if I was able to see it, I'd now be able to discern its color and texture.
At this stage (if I could) put an ear to my belly -- I may be able to pick up baby's heartbeat (no stethoscope required). Inside the womb, the formation of tiny capillaries is giving my baby a healthy pink glow. Baby's also soaking up my antibodies, getting the immune system ready for life outside the womb. Eyes are forming, and baby will soon perfect the blink -- perfect for batting those freshly grown lashes.
