The structures of the spine begin to form -- joints, ligaments and rings. These will protect the all important spinal cord which serves as the information transmitter for your child's body.
Blood vessels of the lungs develop.
Your baby's nostrils begin to open. There is a study out of Belfast that suggests babies at this stage have the capability of scent preferences!
The nerves around the mouth and lip area are showing more sensitivity now. When baby is rooting for food later on, these will be valuable!
Her swallowing reflexes are developing.
Dexterity is improving. Your baby can make a fist and would clasp objects placed in palm.
Your child has now obtained an approximate length of 13.6 inches (34.6cm) and weighs 1.46 pound (660gm).

It seems like pregnancies go by much faster for us on-lookers when we get a week by week update. It seems like only yesterday when Pastor stood in front of us and giggled about Josh becoming a daddy. Well, rubbed his hands together and cackled is more like it. ;)

Ok, so now it's my turn to say *SNORE*. I posted, so there. :o) All you ever post is your baby updates. And while we LOVE your baby updates, I'm sure that a lot of people who read your blog would like to know WHAT ELSE is going on in your life. ;o) Yes, you know I love you. Hope you're having a good day.
