--Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces, and he measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a large heirloom tomato.
--His arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of his body now.
--His kidneys continue to make urine, and the hair on his scalp is sprouting.
--This is a crucial time for sensory development: Your baby's brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch.
--If your baby is a girl, she has an astonishing 6 million eggs in her ovaries. They'll dwindle to fewer than two million by the time she's born.
This week is not Gene's favorite week, as our baby is compared to a "tomato," and that's his least favorite food ever. I wonder what fruit our baby will be compared to next week!
