25 Weeks - An Eggplant

Baby's now the size of an eggplant!


That oh-so-handy sense of equilibrium is kicking in, and baby's learning to distinguish right side up from upside down.  Head to heels, your baby now measures about 13 1/2 inches. His weight — a pound and a half — isn't much more than an average rutabaga, but he's beginning to exchange his long, lean look for some baby fat. As he does, his wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and he'll start to look more and more like a newborn. He's also growing more hair — and if you could see it, you'd now be able to discern its color and texture.  Your baby's hands are fully developed; he even can make a fist & the nerve connections in his hands continues to develop.
