The tail disappears this week and all the baby’s organs, muscles and nerves are beginning to function. Eyelids are starting to cover their eyes. The babies are beginning to look more and more like a human at this point. They can make a tiny fist, and suck their thumb already! They can make all sorts of facial movements, including frowning, swallowing motions and moving the tongue around. The placenta is nourishing the baby now.has begun movement - While still too small for you to feel, your little one's are wriggling, shifting, and dancing already! Makes you almost wish for a window to peek in whenever you want! Most joints are formed now - and trust that your little one's are practicing bending and flexing. They will curve their fingers around an object placed in the palm of their hand - This is amazing to see!

Fingerprints are already evident in the skin. Average size this week -- length 0.9 inch (2.3cm), weight 0.07 ounce (2gm)
