Everything is Peachy


Coming up on 13 weeks!
Your babies are now the size of a peach, measuring just under 3 inches and weighing approximately a full ounce!
The most remarkable thing about week 13 is that their little bodies are finally starting to catch up to their head in size, as their head now only accounts for 1/3 of his total size. If you are having a girl or girls, she will have more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries by week 13.
Her teeth are in place under her gums, waiting to come out during teething, which can start as early as three months, or as late as twelve months. (Note: Some babies can even have one or two teeth showing when they are born!)
Veins and organs are visible through your baby's skin, which is still paper thin and transparent. Her intestines are forming villi, which aid in peristaltic movement and digestion, and her pancreas has even begun to secrete insulin!
