Lemon

See, these posts are like buses - wait long enough and three come along at once!

(you can tell I'm in bed bored can't you? I haven't got the energy to get out of bed, so I'm going get post-tastic instead! Anyway...)

It looks like Sidney kidney bean is a lemon... the size of a lemon that is.

Here's what's occurin' (sorry was tragically desperate to have an entire sentence of apostrophes, as you were...):

"This week's big developments: your baby can squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck her thumb!

Thanks to brain impulses, your baby's facial muscles are getting a workout as her tiny features form one expression after another. Though you can't feel her tiny punches and kicks yet, your little one's hands and feet are more flexible and active. (er, whatever!)

Your baby's kidneys are producing urine, which she releases into the amniotic fluid around her. She'll continue to do this until birth. Your baby's liver starts making bile this week. That's a sign that it's doing its job right. And the spleen starts helping in the production of red blood cells.

In other news: your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, she measures nearly 9cm, about as long as a lemon (see, told you!) She weighs around 43g. Her body's growing faster than her head and she now has a more distinct neck. By the end of this week, your baby's arms will have grown to a length that's in proportion with the rest of her body. Her legs still have some catching up to do (he/she'll match Dylan then...)

All over your baby's body an ultra-fine, downy layer of hair, called lanugo, is starting to develop."
