baby development

in 2 days i will be hitting the double-digits! according to the site visembryo.com, this is how baby is doing:
  • Head is erect and rounded.
  • External ear is completely developed.
  • The eyes are closed, but the retina of the eye is fully pigmented.
  • The eyelids begin to unite and are only half closed.
  • Taste buds begin to form on the surface of the tongue.
  • The primary teeth are at cap stage.
  • Bones of the palate begin to fuse.
  • Scalp plexus reaches head vertex.
  • Intestines begin to migrate from the umbilical cord into the body cavity.
  • Upper and lower limbs are well formed.
  • Fingers get longer and toes no longer webbed and all digits are separate and distinct.
  • Layer of rather flattened cells, the precursor of the surface layer of the skin, replaces the thin ectoderm of the embryo.
  • Tail has disappeared.

oh and did i mention baby is now 1 1/2 inches long?
