This week the baby is still approximately the size of a papaya, at 1.68 lbs. in weight, and 14.02 inches in length.
"While listening to music, you might notice that he moves 'rhythmically' in response to the sounds. He weighs about one and a half pounds now. The little brain is beginning a period of growth and over 50 percent of your baby's energy will be used for this purpose. The lungs are developing air sacks (alveoli) and the membrane that allows for the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen is now thin though to let him take a breath by the end of the week. Even though his skin is loose and wrinkly at this point, it will fill with fat during the third trimester. His eyes are completely developed and the brain is able to register various stimuli such as sound and light."
