A little belated (Wednesdays are the “milestone” days in my mind…), but here is the latest news from the womb. How weird to think this thing might be moving around already. Then again, I guess there are lots of things moving inside of us all the time that we don’t even notice (like your small intestine).

Your baby is now nearly 1 inch long and weighs a bit less than 1/8 of an ounce. The embryonic tail at the bottom of your baby’s spinal cord is shrinking, helping him or her look less like a tadpole and more like a developing person.

Your baby’s head — which is nearly half the size of his or her entire body — is now tucked down onto the chest. Nipples and hair follicles begin to form. Your baby’s pancreas, bile ducts, gallbladder and anus are in place. The internal reproductive organs, such as testes or ovaries, start to develop.

Your baby may begin moving this week, but you won’t be able to feel for it quite a while yet.
