You've got a baby the size of a small cantaloupe in your melon sized belly this week, about 10 ounces and 6.5 inches (crown to rump) your ultrasound this month should be able to detect - if you want to know - whether your baby is a boy or girl. And oh boy - or oh girl - has that baby been busy. If you're having girl her uterus is fully formed, her ovaries are holding about 7 million primitive eggs (though at birth, the number of eggs will be closer to 2 million), and her vaginal canal is starting to develop. If you're having a boy, his testicles have begun their decent from the abdomen. In a few months, they will drop into the scrotum (which is still under construction). Luckily for your baby, he or she still has plenty of room in your womb, which means that there is plenty of space for twisting, turning, kicking, punching, and even an occasional somersault. If you ha vent felt these acrobatics yet, you almost certainly will in the coming weeks.
