Week 21


Your baby now weighs about three-quarters of a pound and is approximately 10 1/2 inches long. (About the size of a large banana) His eyebrows and eyelids are fully developed. And you can certainly feel him move. He's oblivious to your schedule, though, so don't be surprised if he starts working out just when you're settling down for the night.

Your child already has a favorite position to sleep in -- with cycles of wakefulness and sleepiness. Think of the amniotic sac as a water bed that keeps him buoyant and afloat. He is a perfect miniature of the person he will be at birth, with a tiny face and lovely, proportional limbs.
