What is happening with Peanut...
Up until this point, Peanut’s head was the largest part of his/her body, but that is beginning to change. Peanut’s head is now only about 1/3 of his/her total body. Unique fingerprints are now located on the tips of Peanut’s fingers. The kidney and urinary tract are completely functional which allows the amniotic fluid he/she has been swallowing to be excreted. Covering Peanut's skin is a fine, soft hair called lanugo.
How big is Peanut?
By my thirteenth week of pregnancy Peanut is about 3½ inches long and weighs 1¼ ounces.
