The size is now just about three inches, crown to rump.The head is still accounting for much of that size, but try and not mention it. We’re feeling a bit touchy about this entire fixation on looks. What’s it all about? Week Eleven: finger nails and toe nails.
Well, La-Di-Da.
What are toenails really gonna do for a person in the course of a life? Seriously, when was the last time you heard somebody say, “Toe nails saved my life!”?
Never happened, never will.
That is not to say that there’s not crucially important (and surprisingly weird) development happening at this stage. What really blew my mind, I mean it made me say, “no way!” while reading, is that during the eleventh week the intestines will travel from the umbilical cord to the fetus’ abdomen.
The intestines are created outside the body and then squish and slide their way in only later. Admit it, that’s bananas! If you say you knew about that before just now, 1) I’m calling Bull Crap, and 2) why didn’t you tell me about it? Yeah, thought so.
