225 Days To Go

Because of all the rapid development, the baby's head is now much larger that its trunk. Over the next two days, the neck and trunk will begin to straighten (remember, prior to this point the embryonic baby has been shaped like the letter C). Also, within the next two days, the hand plates will develop ridges indicating where the baby's fingers and thumb will be. As the process of forming the digital rays (ridges) continues, the baby's hands will look like the shell of a scallop. The baby now measures nearly ½ inch long (11-14mm). It is so small it would fit into a walnut shell and it weighs less than a book of matches.
