Vernix (a white cheese like protective material) forms on baby's skin with the lanugo, a soft lightly pigmented hair covering the body and limbs, both help to protect your baby's skin during the months in water. Your baby may hear your heart beating, your stomach rumbling or blood moving through the umbilical cord. He or she may even be startled by loud noises.
Tiny air sacs called alveoli begin to form in lungs and the vocal chords are formed. Baby goes through the motions of crying but without air doesn't make a sound; yet.
Your baby may have the same awake and sleep patterns of a newborn. Baby will have a favorite position for sleep and recognizable active and rest periods.
Your baby measures about 6 inches (15cm) crown to rump and weighs about 7 ounces (200gm).
At our appt. today we found out we are having a precious baby girl and that she is measuring in at about a half a pound! We feel so blessed to finally give our baby a name and begin designing her nursery!! I will post pics as we begin to transform her room!!
