...and all of the very unscientific wives tale website polls, including the Chinese baby gender calendar say that we are having a baby girl. We'll find out in two weeks whether that's the case or not. That being said, despite the country being populated 51% female and 49% male, statistically you are slightly more likely to give birth to a baby boy. For every 1,000 baby girls born in this country, there are 1,048 boys born. Its the whole outliving us thing that keeps you girls up on us in overall population.
This week, the baby is 4.5 inches in length, crown to rump (head to butt), which is about the size of the mouse you are using to click around this page right now. Keeping pace with that baby growth is Antoinette's uterus and placenta. The uterus is about 75% larger than it was just 6 weeks ago. The baby inside of there weighs in at just over three and a half ounces and at this stage, can grasp things (like an umbilical cord), kick Mom (we'll cover that tomorrow), and even perform its first somersault!!! Ta-da!!!
