We’re just days away from finding out if its a boy or girl. Last week’s doctor trip didn’t yield any insight into that question, but Jenny will soon have a 4D image (and maybe video) of our little angel/monster.

This week, our baby measures approximately 5.5 inches from crown to rump and weighs about 5.25 ounces. The rapid growth spurt is tapering off, but reflexes are kicking in. Our baby can yawn, stretch and make facial expressions, even frown. Taste buds are beginning to develop and can distinguish sweet from bitter tastes. The baby will suck if its lips are stroked and it can swallow, and even get the hiccups. The retinas have become sensitive to light, so if a bright light is shined on your abdomen, baby will probably move to shield its eyes.

Jenny felt the baby move for the first time last week and she [ Jenny ] is feeling pretty good!
