Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long about the length of a bell pepper and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.
Baby Capps is growing! I can now feel him or her moving around, and we are starting to think it will have a personality like its daddy. As far as I can feel it is very active, and every time we go to the doctor it takes a minute to find the heartbeat because it is moving around so much! We are very excited to find out what it is next Friday! We are ready to call this baby by name and get started on the nursery!
We will keep you all posted and I will post belly pictures soon!
