22 Weeks!

You are 22 weeks pregnant and baby weighs about 15 ounces and is about 27 cm (translates to about a foot long, head to toe) in length. At this stage of pregnancy, your baby will have formed eyebrows and eyelids. Her brain will also begin to rapidly develop. Baby Can Suck His Thumb Now!Baby's senses are now developing daily! For example, taste buds are starting to form on baby's tongue. Also, brain and nerve endings are so developed, the fetus can now feel touch. Baby starts to experiment with this new sensation by stroking his or her face or sucking on a thumb. Your curious baby may even start feeling other body parts just to see how they move! These are the beginings of exploring the world. Baby's reproductive system is continuing to develop. In boys, the testes have started to descend down from the abdomen. And, in girls, the uterus and ovaries are in place and the vagina is developed.
