The baby is roughly the size of a kiwi, weighing about .81 oz and approximately 2.91 inches in length.

"Your baby is now about the size of a kiwi. However, even at this size it is still difficult to determine the sex on an ultrasound. He now has the ability to open and close its fists and to make sucking movements with the muscles in the mouth - it's just a matter of time before the thumb and mouth meet. All the organs of his digestive system are developing into their final shapes including the stomach, liver, pancreas, and intestines. Even his lungs are practicing breathing (but only from the amniotic fluid). The lungs won't actually breathe oxygen from the air until birth. The urine that he excretes into the amniotic fluid is not harmful and is quickly removed via the umbilical cord."
