As those amazing cells multiply, the brain develops into two distinct halves - the left and right hemisphere. Underneath that emerging head of hair is your baby’s rapidly growing brain. The real locks that are growing on top of his cute head will stay put, though hair color may change right up to birth. But don’t be surprised if your honey’s still kind of hairy at birth, especially if he arrives early. Once he accumulates some insulating fat and fills out over the next few months, most of the lanugo will shed. Called lanugo, this downy coating covers the fetus, primarily to keep him cozy and warm until he packs on a few pounds. There’s another important development afoot as your little Sasquatch sprouts hair not just on his head but all over his itty-bitty body. He may still be the size of a fist, but he’s not shaped like one anymore. In just a month or two, you’ll get to experience those tiny dance steps for yourself, in the form of those very first flutters! Baby’s posture is improving, too - his neck is getting longer and his head more upright. This week your tiny dancer trades in the sudden jerky reflexive movements of last trimester for smoother, more fluid moves.
