Our
baby now has reflexes and so our baby's fingers will soon begin to open
and close, his/her toes will curl, his/her eye muscles will clench, and his/her
mouth will make sucking movements.
His/her
intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical
cord, will start to move into his/her abdominal cavity about now, and his/her
kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.
Nerve cells are
multiplying rapidly, and in our baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously.
His/her face looks unquestionably human: His/her eyes have moved from the sides
to the front of his head, and his/her ears are right where they should be. From
crown to rump, our baby-to-be is just over 2 inches long (about the size of a
lime) and weighs half an ounce.
The sweetest lime ever!!
