I am a bit late on this one this week. We had a busy weekend!
Baby's now the size of an avocado!
Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. Right now, he's about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. His legs are much more developed, his head is more erect than it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position, too. Watch what you say...tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean she can now pick up your voice. The patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. He's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.
Just for fun since we have reached 4 month mark lets do a comparison...
8 weeks-2 months!
