My how baby has grown! He's about the size of your palm, weighs about five ounces, and is developing some body fat. His heart is now regulated by the brain (no more random beats) to beat 140 to 150 times per minute — about twice as fast as yours! What else is up? He’s practicing the survival skills he’ll need at birth — like sucking and swallowing. It can yawn, stretch and make facial expressions, even frown. Taste buds are beginning to develop and can distinguish sweet from bitter tastes. The baby will suck if its lips are stroked and it can swallow, and even get the hiccups. The retinas have become sensitive to light, so if a bright light is shined on my abdomen, baby will probably move to shield its eyes.
