I've hit the 2-inch mark (about the size of a lime) and weigh half an ounce. My face is beginning to look more human. My eyes, which started out on the sides of my head, have moved closer together on my face, and my ears are near their final positions on the sides of my head. My intestines, which have grown so rapidly that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into my abdominal cavity about now. My kidneys are secreting urine into my bladder. My nerve cells have been multiplying rapidly, and synapses (neurological pathways in the brain) are forming. I may have acquired more reflexes by now, including sucking, and I'll even squirm if Mummy prods her abdomen, though she still won't be able to feel my movement for several weeks.
