So I noticed 2 days ago that I am losing the sight of my toes. I can see my big toes up to the beds of my toe nails. I feel like I just barely realized I was getting fat a month ago and then all of the sudden I’m big! I’m getting the feeling this little boy is going to act like Spencer did – stretching out as far as he could, and he also sat on one side making my tummy look crooked. My hips/pelvic are also starting to feel different – I’m guessing my hips are starting to stretch preparing for labor…I’m afraid I’m going to start waddling soon. Okay – enough of my self-pity party. lol
At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he’s even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you’d be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he’ll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.
