Week 18
Size: 6 inches long and 8.5 ounces!
Baby Changes: Your
baby's sensory development is exploding! Her brain is designating specialized
areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that
she may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud,
talking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.
Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches,
head to bottom — about the size
of a large heirloom tomato. Her arms and legs are in the right
proportions to each other and the rest of her body now. Her kidneys continue to
make urine and the hair on her scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating
called the vernix caseosa is forming on her skin to prevent it from pickling in
the amniotic fluid.
