(joyful upbeat music)
- Ladies and gentlemen, mommies
and daddies, in this corner
weighing in at a whopping third
of an ounce and standing, or
rather laying, two
inches long is your baby.
She's caterpillar-sized right now,
though not quite as fuzzy, and
certainly more human in appearance.
Sure, her forehead is still
high and her head is still
disproportionately larger
than her body, but her facial
bones are completely formed,
she has an obvious jaw line,
and most of her soon-to-be
adorable facial features are
well defined.
The ears are now sculpted
into their seashell shape,
hair follicles are sprouting head to toe,
nipples on the chest are
visible, finger nail and
toe nail beds are developing,
her skin is beginning to
thicken and those diminutive
digits are no longer
webbed like a froglet's.
And behind those little
lips, your baby is trying out
her new tongue and palate,
yawning, swallowing, chewing,
prepping for hours of eating
and chatting in years to come.
Your little one's ticker is
ticking faster each week,
clocking in at about 120
to 160 beats per minute.
And while you probably don't
feel anything yet, there's
plenty of nimble action
going on in your uterus.
Your tiny athlete is practicing
somersaults, stretches and spins.
A big work out for one so
wee. Lucky for her, your
uterine gym is open 24 hours a day.
