  HOW YOUR BABY GROW

This week mark the end of your baby's embryonic stage, the early period of human development ,. She no measures about 1.6cm in length, about the size of a KEDNEY BEAN . Her facial features are slowly becoming more defined as her upper jaws and nose take shape

Nerve cells in your baby's BRAIN are branching out to form early neural pathways. The part of the brain responsible for her SENSE OF SMELL is also taking shape.

There is a lot happening to your baby's body this week too./ Her arm are long enough for her hands to meet over her chest and her legs are lengthening too However, her ankles, thighs, knees and toes are not yet distinct. Her embryonic tail is almost gone  and the area where it was will become her tailbone. (COCCYX)
