25 weeks 2 days

Here is what is developing this week :

  • The structure of the spine begins to form
  • Taste buds are forming
  • The vagina has hollowed out
  • The hands are fully developed -- fingerprints and all!
  • The blood vessels of the lungs are developing
  • The nostrils are beginning to open.
Uterus is not the size of a Volleyball.


Note: My belly button is not as deep as it once was.....

Note 2: They are doing a detailed ultrasound on Monday :) We will know the baby's weight again :)
