What is happening with Peanut...
This week Peanut will begin to take on more of a normal appearance as the eyes move closer together and the ears move closer to their final position. The intestines have grown so fast that they actually extend into the umbilical cord, but they will begin to move back into the abdomen. The kidneys can now secrete urine, and the nervous system is continuing to mature. Peanut may have developed more complicated reflexes such as sucking.
How big is Peanut...
Peanut is 3 inches long and weighs 1 ounce by the end of this week.
(According to the American Pregnancy Association)
