Week 10



Baby U is about the size of a kumquat. Looks bigger than the quarter now.

Developments: What a difference since last week. Swallowing fluids and kicking up a storm. Completed the most critical portion of his development. We are now at the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in his body rapidly grow and mature. Kidneys, intestines, brain, and liver (now making red blood cells in place of the disappearing yolk sac) — are in place and starting to function.
