Twenty-two Weeks Pregnant

I now look like a miniature newborn, checking in at 10.9" and almost 1 lb. My skin will continue to appear wrinkled until I gain enough weight to fill it out, and the fine hair (lanugo) that covers my head and body is now visible. My lips are becoming more distinct, and the first signs of teeth are appearing as buds beneath my gum line. My eyes are developed, though the iris (the colored part of the eye) still lacks pigment. Eyelids and eyebrows are in place, and my pancreas, essential for hormone production, is developing steadily.
