Your baby is the size of a Bell Pepper
Your baby measures 5 to 5.8 inches (12.7 to 14.6 cm) long from crown to rump. At this point, your baby weighs about 5.3 ounces (148.8 grams).
Your baby’s ears are approaching their final position. Your baby’s eyes are also beginning to face forward and the retinas may be able to detect light.
Your baby’s bones will continue to harden and the pads for his of her fingers and toes will form. They will gain the characteristic swirls and creases that form finger and toe prints.
The meconium (early fecal waste matter) will start to collect in the baby’s intestines. The baby’s heart is starting to build up muscle and pump about 25 to 30 quarts of blood a day.
