The baby's growth rate continues to be incredible, looking more and more like a miniature newborn baby every day. The skin is still thin enough to see organs and blood vessels through. At this point, the lanugo hair is covering the baby's body. If there will be hair on the baby's head at birth, which may not be the case since rumor has it, I was virtually bald until I was two years old, the head hair and eyebrows begin to grow in this week. The baby is very flexible and can bend her elbows and wrists easily. Combine that with fist making abilities and we have a recipe for some thumb sucking, which begins, as well, in week 15. Eyes and ears continue to look more and more normal every week and the bones continue to grow stronger and harder with increases in calcium.
