Tomorrow we will begin week 16. It is so hard to believe that Thanksgiving and Christmas is just around the corner. I am very excited for the holidays. After the holidays we have to get busy on nusery and getting everything ready for the babies. Time is really going to fly by now.
Week 16:
Listen up: Tiny bones in your baby's ears are in place this week, making it likely that the baby can hear your voice when you're speaking (or singing in the shower). In fact, studies have found that babies who are sung to while they're in the womb recognize the same tune when it's sung to them after they are born (so choose your baby music with that in mind...)
Ok side note here....that makes me want to cry. How sweet is that. Our boys can hear us and hear me sing. What a wonderful thought.
And baby's busily boning up in other ways. For one, the backbone (along with the back muscles) is stronger now - strong enough in fact to enable your baby to work on straightening his or her head and neck even more. Baby's crown-to-rump measurement is between four and five inches in length, and weight is hovering around three ounces.
This little one's a looker - with a face that has both eyebrows and eyelashes - but a skinny looker since there's no baby fat yet. And here's the skinny on baby skin: It's practically translucent now, so if you took a peek inside your uterus, you'd be able to see your baby's blood vessels under that thin skin
