Inchworm has hit the 2-inch mark (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce! Hurray for Inchworm!
- The face is beginning to look more human [oh good! we don't want an alien on our hands].
- The eyes, which started out on the sides of the head, have moved closer together on the face.
- The ears are near their final positions on the sides of the head.
- The intestines, which have grown so rapidly that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into the abdominal cavity about now.
- The kidneys are secreting urine into the bladder.
- The nerve cells have been multiplying rapidly, and synapses (neurological pathways in the brain) are forming.
- Inchworm also may have acquired more reflexes by now, including sucking, and may even squirm if I prod my abdomen, though I am told I still won't be able to feel movement for several weeks.

Wait until she reaches Annies size and it may not be the size of a watermelon but it sure does feel like it. hmmmm i kind of miss the lime stage
I thought the exact thing, Rochelle, "oh, now Inchworm could be 'Limey'!" Great minds think alike...or what's the other one? Fools seldom differ...? I like the first one better...I enjoy these weekly updates about what's actually developing, etc., very interesting. You'll be such a cute mommy :)
regarding 'Limey' - absolutely not! pretty soon Inchworm will be a lemon! haha! nice try!
