We are about to enter 14 weeks and here is what is happening this week

(This is not a picture of our baby, this info was taken from pregnancy.org) Week Fourteen Thyroid gland has matured and your baby begins producing hormones which will be used throughout his or her life. In boys, the prostate gland develops In girls, the ovaries move from the abdomen to the pelvis Your little one may have learned to suck his thumb by this point! Your child's bones are getting harder and stronger by the day! Your baby's skin is very transparent still Lanugo (very fine hair) covers the baby's body and will continue to grow until 26 weeks gestational age - Generally this will be shed prior to birth. Its purpose is to help protect baby's skin while in all that water! Your baby is 3.42 inches (8.7cm) long and weighs about 1.52 ounces (43 grams) - approximately the weight of a letter!
