. 15 Weeks
Baby is measuring 4 1/2 inches this week and weighs around 2 to 3 ounces, is about the size of a navel orange. Looking more and more like the baby you are picturing in your dreams, his or her ears are positioned properly on the sides of the head (they used to be in the neck), and the eyes are moving from the side of the head to the front of the face. By now baby has the coordination, strength, and smarts to wiggle his or her fingers and toes and even suck a thumb. But that's not all baby can do now. He or she can also breathe (or at least make breathing movements), suck and swallow - all in preparation for the big debut and life outside the womb. And though it's unlikely that I can feel any movements from little baby this week, baby is certainly getting a workout - kicking, flexing, and moving those arms and legs.
