By now, nearly all of the baby's organs, structures and systems are fully formed. The heart is pumping several quarts of blood through our baby's body every day. Our baby has also begun to develop nerves and a spinal cord. Fingers and toes have separated and hair and nails continue to grow. The baby is approximately 2.5 - 3.5 inches and weighs about 12 - 14 grams.
Before, where there was only reflex movement, your baby now moves spontaneously and at random, although the movements are still too slight to be felt. At last weeks office visit we got to hear the babies fast heart beat (159bpm), along with seeing how big it has gotten since the last visit (now over 2 inches long).
Wow Jess...moving right along! You will get busy doing baby stuff soon and little hertel will be here before you know it. Can't wait to find out if it's a boy or a girl. Hope you are feeling good. We are thinking about you and we are so happy everything is going well.
