--At around 4 inches long, crown to rump, your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 ounces.
--He's busy inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid, which will help develop the air sacs in his lungs.
--His legs are growing longer than his arms now, and he can move all his joints and limbs. That means his hands are more functional, too.
--Sweat glands are appearing, and although his eyelids are fused shut, he can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, he's likely to move away from the beam.
--There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but his taste buds are beginning to form.
Well, the only comment that I have to this baby report is that I bet Gene will be fishing out the flashlight tonight. I'm sure he'll get a kick out of playing "flashlight tag" with the baby in my womb.

We tried this one too - and not until around week 36 was I able to tell that he was moving in reference to the light. Good luck!
