What was peanut up to this week?

Baby is the size of an onion and continues to beef up. Now peanut is about 5.1 inches long and weighs about 5.9 ounces.

The rubbery cartilage is now turning to bone.
Peanut is growing some meat on those bones -- putting on some fat.
and is growing a stronger, thicker umbilical cord, too.
