Week 15...continued

I got so carried away with all my other random thoughts I completely forgot to post the picture and info of what Baby H is up to this week...geez...

Continuing the march towards normal proportions baby's legs now outmeasure the arms.  And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints.  Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably still can't feel the movements.  The hair on your baby's head is growing in and the follicles will make pigment if your baby has dark hair.  Around the body, there's still fine hair (lanugo) to protect agaist being constantly exposed to the amniotic fluid.

Your baby's skin in thin and nearly translucent and if you were to take a look inside your womb you'd see small blood vessels forming underneath the skin.  Some babies may even be sucking starting to suck their thumb around this time.
