You are nearly an inch long, about the size of grape and weighs just a fraction of an ounce. You are starting to look more human. Essential body parts are accounted for but you will go through plenty of fine-tuning in the coming months. Your hearts finish dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form as do your tiny teeth. The embryonic tail is completely gone. External sex organs are there but won't be distinguishable for another few weeks. You have tiny earlobes, and mouth, nose and nostril are more distinct. The placenta is developed enough now to take over most of the critical job of producing hormones. Now your basic physiology is in place and are poised for rapid weight gain.
You are now much bigger than when you were first conceived. Daddy and papa continue to be wowed by your growth. We are very proud of you guys and thanks to auntie "S" for taking good care of you.
Here is an informative video on week 9.
