Week 15

By the end of this week, your baby will be 4 ¾ inches long and weigh a whole 2 ounces.

• Your baby’s skin is very thin, and his/her blood vessels can actually be seen through the skin.
• Your baby’s ears are continuing to develop externally and continue to look more like normal ears.
• The baby’s bones are beginning to ossify, which means that if an x-ray was taken the skeleton would be visible.
• Your baby’s eyes are continuing to move towards the nose from the sides of his/her head.
• Babies at this age have also been caught sucking their thumbs on ultrasound pictures.
• Continuing the march towards normal proportions, baby's legs now outmeasure the arms.
• And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints.
• Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably still can't feel the movements
