At 4 1/2 inches long (head to bottom) and 3 1/2 ounces, your baby is about the size of a rubber ducky. In the next three weeks, she'll go through a tremendous growth spurt, though, doubling her weight and adding inches to her length. Her lower limbs are much more developed now. Her head is more erect than it has been, and her eyes have moved toward the front of her head. Your baby's ears are close to their final position, too. Some of her more advanced body systems are working, including her circulatory system and urinary tract. The patterning of her scalp has begun, though her hair isn't recognizable yet. Although closed, her eyes are moving (slowly), and she's even started growing toenails.
I always loved reading these when I was pregnant with Josiah. Each new growth or development was so exciting! Enjoy every moment of this:)
