Week 14

Here is what BabyCenter says about Baby Reeves this week:
How your baby's growing:
This week's big developments: Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb! Thanks to brain impulses, facial muscles are getting a workout as tiny features form one expression after another. The kidneys are producing urine, which releases into the amniotic fluid around — a process that will keep up until birth. Baby can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch baby sucking a thumb.

In other news: Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, measuring 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a lemon — and weighs 1 1/2 ounces. Baby's body's growing faster than the head, which now sits upon a more distinct neck. By the end of this week, the arms will have grown to a length that's in proportion to the rest of the body. (The legs still have some lengthening to do.) Baby's starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over the body. Your baby's liver starts making bile this week — a sign that it's doing its job right — and the spleen starts helping in the production of red blood cells. Though you can't feel the tiny punches and kicks yet, your little pugilist's hands and feet (which now measure about 1/2 inch long) are more flexible and active.
