Not to mention that by this week, "Rumfy" (the pre-child) has begun to look much more like a baby than an alien weasel.
Your BabyAll of your baby's vital organs are now formed and functioning, so the risk of defects decreases this week as your baby becomes less susceptible to outside influences. Phew! Other exciting developments include:
Baby's ears are assuming their proper place this week and the fingernail and toenail beds are beginning to form. Your little "pumpkin head" really lives up to his nickname as his head is nearly as big as the rest of his body.
Your baby now weighs a third of an ounce, about the same as two small, Starbucks-sized packets of sugar, is about 2 inches long, the length of one of those sugar packets. Isn't that sweet?
We still have another 9 weeks before we'll know Rumfy's gender for sure, but I just feel like we have a girl on the way.
Claudia promised to post the first-ever photo of the baby later today.
