The timing of our posts have not been quite what we expected. What I mean by that is the due date, and thereby how far along, has shifted by a day or day as we progress. First it was moved forward, then moved back a day. We were trying to post the new-week update on the precise day. However, we've given up on that kind of precision.
Personally, I find it fascinating how the weeks track anyway, since the first two weeks of pregnancy technically occur before conception. Like most things measured about human variances, the scientific standard is really no more than a guideline based on statistical averages. I guess pregnacy is similar to the disclaimer on weight-loss commercials: "Individual results may vary."
Fingerprints have formed on your baby's tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you're having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries. Your baby is almost 3 inches long (the size of a medium shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce.
