Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth. And, speaking of the diaper situation... baby's genitals are now fully formed!
*this is from our American Pregnancy Association email, and it is more accurate because at our last ultrasound we were closer to these numbers...* Your baby is about 7 ¾ inches long and weighs approximately 9 ounces.
