The baby's crown-to-rump length is 5.2 to 6 inches this week. The baby weighs approximately 7 ounces and will increase its weight more than 15 times between now and birth!
One of the most amazing aspects of your the baby's growth and development is that of the fetal brain. The baby's brain is one of the first organs to appear. The baby's oversized head shows the brain's importance in his development. Because the nerves that connect the muscles to the brain have grown into place, baby's movements are consciously directed. The baby's ears stand out from the sides of the head and the buds for your baby's permanent teeth appear. The baby's arms and legs have reached their relative proportions and his feet are approximately one inch long.
