Peanut is 15 Weeks Old!

How big is Peanut....
By the end of this week, Peanut is 5 inches long and weighs a whole 2 ounces.

What is happening with Peanut...
Peanut's skin is very thin, and his/her blood vessels can actually be seen through the skin. Peanut's ears are continuing to develop externally and continue to look more like normal ears. Peanut's eyes are continuing to move towards the nose from the sides of his/her head. Peanut's bones are beginning to ossify, which means that if an x-ray was taken the skeleton would be visible. Babies at this age have also been caught sucking their thumb on ultrasound pictures.
