Belly Button: looking normal. i don't think it will ever pop.. its so deep..

What I am looking forward to: hopefully starting on the stripes in babies room on sunday

Milestone: legs are much more developed, his head is more erect than it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. He's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.
