Baby Mastropolo is over 5 inches and weighs about 3.5 oz! I read it is about the size of your open hand... how exciting!! A little body fat is beginning to grow which is different from last week. Our baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone and the umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger.
Baby Mastropolo can hear loud noises like the doorbell and dogs barking... the baby will be so used to dogs after listening to our 4 crazy pups! In fact, I read that the baby will be so used to those noises, especially the dogs, that it will sleep right through the noises... hopefully :)
Baby Mastropolo's eye's are still sealed but can detect a glimmer of light now and finally the eyes have moved to the front of our baby's head.. bye bye little amphibian! Baby Mastropolo is also developing the sucking and swallowing skills needed for feeding when born.
Another magical thing that is occurring is in the next week or so, the pads on our baby's fingertips and toes will develop individual swirls and creases... fingertips!! One of a kind!
I should start feeling those little flutters of our baby moving. My sister in law Michele told me to really pay attention to when I am sitting and not moving as I may feel something. I can't wait for that!!
Countdown... less than 2 weeks to find out the gender!! Will it be a baby girl Mastropolo or baby boy Mastropolo?
