According to Babycenter.com you are about 11 inches long (the length of a spaghetti squash) and measuring over 1 pound! You are starting to look like a miniature newborn. Your lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and you are even developing tiny tooth buds beneath your gums. Your eyes have formed, but your irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment.
If we could see inside Mommy's belly, we would be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers your body and the deep wrinkles on your skin, which you'll sport until you add a padding of fat to fill them in. I remember seeing these deep wrinkles on your cousin, Nevaeh during one of her 3D/4D ultrasounds and I worried that she wouldn't fill them in with baby fat.....now I know differently! :-) Inside your belly, your pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily!
On the Mommy front she has all the previous pregnancy symptoms minus the sickness! Her belly is getting heavy already and I think she will invest in a belly band to help get her through the work day! She absolutely loves feeling your strong kicks and so does Daddy!
Love you bunches!
Mimi
