"Your baby now looks like a miniature newborn, checking in at 10.9
inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound. His skin
will continue to appear wrinkled until he gains enough weight to fill
it out, and the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his head and body is now
visible. His lips are becoming more distinct, and the first signs of
teeth are appearing as buds beneath his gum line. His eyes are
developed, though the iris (the colored part of the eye) still lacks
pigment. Eyelids and eyebrows are in place, and his pancreas, essential
for hormone production, is developing steadily. The senses your baby will use to learn about the world are developing
daily. Taste buds have started to form on the tongue, and the brain and
nerve endings are formed enough so that the fetus can feel touch. Your
baby may experiment with this newfound sense of touch by stroking his
or her face or sucking on a thumb, as well as feeling other body parts and seeing how they move."
