What's Going on in There?
Found these interesting facts about what goes on with a 9-week fetus. (yes! He or she is a FETUS now... I guess I need to change my banner!!)
"At nine to ten weeks, he squints, swallows, moves his tongue, and if you stroke his palm, will make a tight fist.
By nine weeks he will "bend his fingers round an object in the palm of his hand." Valman & Pearson, "What the Fetus Feels," British Med. Jour., Jan. 26, 1980"
I was looking for a neat picture of a nine-week fetus. But good ones are hard to come by. :(
