Week 15 Wrap Up...


After another full week of development, this kid has all sorts of talents. It can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, suck its thumb, and even change expressions. The development of the facial muscles have reached a point where they can manipulate the child's face now. The kidneys continue to recycle amniotic fluid which is gulped down, processed, and secreted as urine, something it will continue to fine tune until birth. The baby can also grasp. Tomorrow, we'll welcome you all into week 16. While we don't have a picture of Antoinette this week (which we'll get you early in Week 16), we do have a scale picture of the baby now. Look at how small it is, yet how incredibly developed in some of the other pictures. Really quite amazing. Two and a half weeks until "it" becomes a "he" or "she".
