I am now fully formed and the size of a fig — measuring 1½" long and weighing in at a quarter of an ounce. My skin is still transparent, allowing many of my blood vessels to show through. Some of my bones are beginning to harden, and tiny toothbuds are starting to appear under my gums. My fingers and toes have separated, and I may soon be able to open and close my fists. I'm already busy kicking and stretching, and my tiny movements are so fluid they look like water ballet. These movements will increase as my body grows and becomes more developed and functional. As my diaphragm develops, I may also start to get the hiccups. Because I'm still so small though, Mummy won't feel any of my workouts or intrauterine gulps until sometime between weeks 16 and 20.
