Baby Development Updates for Week 14...


If we are having a girl, which we won't know for quite some time, her little ovaries will already have over 2 million eggs in them. Essentially, our grandchildren are in there. How crazy is that? The baby is continuing to grow at an incredible rate and is about 4 inches long now, crown to rump, or about the length of a typical cell phone or a man's fist. Although it hasn't happened yet, Antoinette should soon start to get her energy level back to normal. She will be able to feel her uterus by pressing on her midsection and track its progress. The baby has eye brows, but no eye lashes, and a very fine hair has begun to grow all over its body. We'll talk more about that tomorrow.

I'm attaching a picture of some little feet at this stage. Notice the arterial and vascular growth in the legs, as well as the rudimentary bones beginning to develop. The toes and feet are fully shaped and continue to develop at a normal rate.
