Emmett is making blood, fat & hormones!
14.8 in Long and 2.2 lbs
You know your Momma has been feeling like a whale with legs. To state the obvious, that feeling isn't going anywhere until she finally gets down to the hard work (aka labor) of evicting you, from her womb.For the time being, you are in the fat collection business!
This fetal fat collection stuff is serious business, and your Momma has got to put up with it because it’s going to keep you warm and healthy after birth, since your brain will be unable to regulate your own tiny body's temperature.
Other good stuff from inside the womb: your eyes are doing lots of blinking this week because they’re now responding to light and dark!
And in life-critical physical developments: your tiny industrious bone marrow is now a major construction site for blood cells, while youradrenal glands are actually producing androgen and estrogen — which will stimulate Mommas body to begin milk production.
Say “Moo”!
