Your kid is getting a neck, thank goodness. They are also developing their very unique ears with which they’ll listen to you gag and swear under your breath as you change poopy diapers. A big milestone hits at the end week: they’ll graduate from embryo to fetus! Sadly you will not see a tiny mortar board in the ultrasound, as hilarious as that would be.
