Baby is the size of: A sweet pea, a lentil, or a fishing sinker. Take your pick . And the kiddo is .25 inches long or 3-4 mm.
What did the baby just develop: The baby is working on growing a nose, some ears, a mouth, flappy little leg and arm buds, and the wee one has a heart beat going twice as fast as ours that can be seen on an ultrasound. Blood is beginning to course through little one's body. The intestines are
developing, and the bud of tissue that will give rise to the lungs have
appeared. The pituitary gland is forming, as are the rest of the brain,
muscles, and bones. And our wee one might even be wiggling the little (paddle-like) hands and feet!
