Peanut is now about the size of a turnip! Roughly 5 inches long and weighs 5 ounces now. That's even more than the placenta weighs.
Though no new structures have formed this week, peanut has developed fat deposits under her skin that will account for about 2-6% of her total body weight at her time of birth, just 23 weeks from now!
Peanut's skeleton, which up until this point has been made up of flexible cartilage, is now hardening into bone. Another exciting event…The sense of hearing begins to develop this week!
That means no more bad words for me! :)
um...that could definitely be a problem, little sister ;) for us all...lol
