Is There a Red Head in my Future?

Greeting bloggers! Here is another development update for those of you keeping track. Big things are happening this week in baby land. Turns out this week is when the baby's hair color is determined. Will baby Coverdale take after its daddy? Guess we will have to wait and see!

PS - There is even a great fruit reference below for those of you following along. Enjoy!
Week 15: Skin Begins to Form

Your baby's skin starts out nearly transparent. Eyebrows and scalp hair may make an appearance. For babies destined to have dark hair, the hair follicles will begin producing pigment.

The bone and marrow that make up your baby's skeletal system are continuing to develop this week. Your baby's eyes and ears now have a baby-like appearance, and the ears have almost reached their final position.

Curious why your body is finally looking like it's pregnant? That's because your baby is growing bigger each week — he or she is as long as four and a half inches right now. Need a better visual (and a snack)? Hold a large navel orange in your hand — that's how big your little darlin' is.
