This week the baby is still approximately the size of a papaya, at 2.22 lbs. in weight, and 14.80 inches in length.
"Your baby's eyes are now partially open and those tiny eyelids are able to blink. Event hough the eyes may have some color, the final pigmentation requires exposure to light. In some cases the final color of the eyes cannot be determined with certainty until at least nine months after birth. Your baby is able to recognize different levels of light, even inside your womb. Even though he still has to grow a lot, the little body is getting chubbier as fat is depositing under the wrinkled skin. Muscles are developing some tone as well. He has a 95 percent chance of survival if born at the end of this week. The lungs are better prepared to breathe, but would still need medical assistance. If you're carrying twins, each baby will have its own sleep cycle (which you should likely be very aware of)."
