Week 23
by Amalah
Your Baby: Is a tad bigger than last week! Are you sensing a pattern! Goodness, I never realized how boring this stretch of pregnancy is, what with the “close to a pound, just over a pound, 11 inches long, 11 2/3 inches long” comparisons week after week. The pancreas is kicking into gear sometime around [...]

Baby is fully assembled; [...]
Week 18
by Amalah
Your Baby: Is about the size of a baked potato — five-and-a-half inches long. Has actual cute little ears and working ear bones and can hear sounds through the amniotic fluid — similar to how things sound to you underwater. Is moving, moving, moving. The baby is still small enough that you may not feel [...]
