I am now 16 weeks along! I go for my appointment tomorrow. I always feel a little better after going and hearing the heartbeat.Right now the baby is about 4 1/2 inches long (crown to rump) and looks a lot more human.
His/Her head is more erect than it has been, and the eyes have moved closer to the front of the head.Ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of his/her scalp has begun, though their locks aren't recognizable yet. The baby has even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his/her heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase.
In the next few weeks, the baby will double his/her weight and gain a few more inches.
Grow baby, grow!
