Baby:Your baby's crown-to-rump length is 5.2 to 6 inches this week. Your baby weighs approximately 7 ounces and will increase its weight more than 15 times between now and birth!
One of the most amazing aspects of your baby's growth and development is that of the fetal brain. Your baby's brain is one of the first organs to appear. Your baby's oversized head shows the brain's importance in his development. Because the nerves that connect the muscles to the brain have grown into place, your baby's movements are consciously directed. Your baby's ears stand out from the sides of the head and the buds for your baby's permanent teeth appear. Your baby's arms and legs have reached their relative proportions and his feet are approximately one inch long.

The quality of the ultrasound pic is not the best. I didn't scan it into my computer like I should have. I simply took a picture of the ultrasound photo using my phone and then emailed it to myself (so much easier!). HOpe you can make out the little foot. :)
Lovin' that little foot! Those are the toes you'll kiss over and over...
