Week 13 begins - Life's a "peach"


Week 13
Baby:
Your fully formed fetus, now in about its 11th week of development, measures 2.6 (6.6cm) to 3.1 inches (7.9cm) from crown to rump and weighs between half an ounce (14g) and seven-tenths of an ounce (20g) -- about the size of a peach. The head is still disproportionately bigger than the body, but the rest of the body is starting to catch up. In fact, your baby is growing rapidly these days. The face is starting to look more human, with eyes moving closer together. Toes and fingers are clearly separate, and ankles and wrists have formed. External genitalia are becoming visible. Intestines are shifting into their proper place, too.
