I know that I'm late with this post, as usual. Hopefully at some point I will actually get these posts written at the beginning of the week instead of the end!!
Well, this week hasn't been much different from the last. The baby is starting to kick a lot harder now. Not to the point that it can be felt from the outside, yet. Hopefully within a few weeks it will be hard enough for Bryan to feel. Also, the major difference this week is the building of anticipation as the date that we can find out the sex approaches. If the baby cooperates with us, we will be finding out in 6 days!
On that note... you only have 6 more days left to get your vote in for the sex poll.
So far the results are:
Boy- 16 think this.
Girl- 9 think this.
Let me know what you think!
Your baby's development this week:
The baby is developing at a steady pace and has undergone some incredible changes. This week, the baby begins taking on more fat, which is very important for its ability to create and maintain heat and for metabolism. If your baby is a girl, primitive egg cells are developing in her ovaries. Girls are born with all the eggs they will ever have. The egg you released to conceive this baby is as old as you are!
Other changes that are happening:
~The baby's ears now stand out from the head.
~The placenta will continue to grow from this point on, but only in diameter, not thickness.
~This week a temporary hair called lanugo will appear on the baby's body and head, but will disappear by birth. No one is sure of the purpose of this hair.
Baby's size (head to rump) this week: 5.25- 6 inches
Weight: Approximately 7 ounces
Right now your baby is about the size of a small banana.
