WEEK 14
Your
baby is right around 4 inches long from the top of the head to the rump
and weighs about 4 1/2 ounces — roughly the size of a small peach. Like
a peach, his or her body is covered with soft hairs. These are called
lanugo, and they're like a little coat providing warmth in the womb.
Don't worry — this fine covering of fur should be gone by your due date.
Baby is also becoming an individual! He or she is developing
fingerprints, including on the thumb, which might have already found its
way into baby's mouth.
WEEK 26
Your
baby is a 2-pound bundle of joy. He or she weighs about the same as the
quart of milk you drink from daily to get your recommended 1,200 mg of
calcium. For the first time since your baby's eyelids formed, they've
opened, revealing bluish-colored eyes. Don't get too attached to the
color — it might change in the first few months of life. There isn't
much to see inside your uterus, but if you shine a light on your
abdomen, your baby might react with a flurry of movement.
