Your baby graduates onto a new growth chart this week. No longer will he or she be measured crown to rump but rather from head to toe. And this week that head to toe length is a full 15 inches (more than a foot long)! Your baby's weight is creeping up the charts as well, coming in at just over 2 pounds this week. And here's an interesting fetal factoid: your baby has more taste buds now than he or she will have at birth (and beyond). Which means that not only is your baby able to taste the difference in the amniotic fluid when you eat different foods, he or she might even react to it. For instance, some babies respond to spicy foods by hiccuping. Or by kicking when they get that spicy kick.
