Week 17

Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped with one-of-a-kind prints.

Week 16

Watch what you say.......tiny bones forming in the baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and tastebuds are forming. And, if you're interested, an ultrasound might be able to determine gender.

Week 15

Continuing the march to towards normal proportions, baby's legs now outmeasure the arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably still can't feel the movements.
