With bones and cartilage starting to form and vital organs beginning to function, baby is making major progress. Body length will almost double in the next three weeks, and arm joints are now working. (Soon, legs will too.)The embryo reaches a developmental milestone at the end of this week--it has achieved its basic structural form, and will be known as a fetus (Latin for "offspring") from now until it reaches full term. Because the fetus is still curled up in a snug position in the uterus, it's hard to measure an exact length including the legs. For this reason, health professionals use the crown-to-rump measurement, or the distance from the top of the head to the buttocks. Your baby's crown-to-rump length is now about 1 1/4 inches, and she weighs less than half an ounce.
~Great to know that the bump thinks calling my child a prune is ok. Makes me wanna gag. And actually, prunes are just not what I need right now...amazing enough I can handle that job on my own. Also, the dreams can subside at any moment. Especially the sex ones. Waking up in the mood and having it go away within 10 mins is just not cool. I'd like to take advantage of it once...lol
