This week the baby is approximately the size of a naval orange, at 4.94 oz in weight, and 5.12 inches in length.

"The veins that have been showing through his skin are becoming less obvious as far formation begins. Even though he has had taste buds for quite some time, it is only now that it can really make out differences in flavor. He is now the same size as the placenta and the little heart is busy pumping 25 quarts of blood a day. The meconium (the first bowel movement your baby will have after birth) is forming in your little one's bowel. He is big enough to fit into the palm of your hand and is about the size of an orange. His brain is communicating constantly with the nervous system and muscles and you are more likely to feel the movements now."
