This week the baby is still approximately the size of a papaya, at 1.46 lbs. in weight, and 13.62 inches in length.
"Your baby's primitive memory is beginning to develop, implying that music and voices will be leaving an impression in your little one's brain. His spine has 1000 ligaments, 150 joints and 33 vertebrae. Blood vessels are busy developing inside the lungs and nostrils are beginning to open. Now that he has finally developed hands, loud noises may even prompt junior to cover the tiny ears to shield them from sounds. His skin has now changed from translucent to a more opaque in appearance. The cerebral cortex, the part of your baby's brain that is responsible for emotions, reasoning, planning and ability to solve problems, is the most prominent part of the brain at this point."
This week, I need to remember to call back the ultrasound place and schedule my last 3D ultrasound since it's coming up in about 2 weeks. Around then, I should also be having my next (and hopefully last) glucose testing done.
