"Your baby's liver and spleen are now producing blood cells, and the pancreas is beginning to release digestive enzymes. Your baby's liver accounts for 10 percent of the total weight, which is about half an ounce by now. The muscular system and nervous system are responding to each other and your baby is now able to bend, stretch, kick, and even make faces. These movements are not occurring in response to any particular stimulation, but are occurring nonetheless. The sex of your baby is becoming more pronounced and the kidneys are now producing urine from the amniotic fluid that he or she ingests. Because your baby won't be using the lungs to breathe until birth, all the oxygen needed is coming from the placenta.
