Your growing babies now measure about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weigh in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). They're busy moving amniotic fluid through their nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in their lungs begin to develop. Their legs are growing longer than their arms now, and they can move all of their joints and limbs. Although their eyelids are still fused shut, they can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, they're likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but he/she is forming taste buds.
I will post a belly pic tomorrow.
