Baby Thornton is 10 weeks today! The baby has transformed from an embryo (a shrimp-looking creature) to an actual fetus! The baby is now the size of a kumquat or a lime! I love that she is in there growing and changing everyday!
Fetus in pregnancy week 10:
This week is somewhat of a landmark for your developing baby. By now, your baby's complete body plan is laid down. Your baby will continue to develop and grow for the remainder of the pregnancy. The fingers and toes have separated and the tail has disappeared now. Your baby has taste and tooth buds at this point, which will continue to develop. The brain will continue to grow at an amazing rate and nearly a quarter of a million new neurons are produced every minute! The embryonic heart is completely developed. External genitalia are not apparent until next week, but a male's testes will already be producing testosterone.
