Your Baby
While listening to music, you might notice that your your baby moves rhythmically in response to the sounds. Your baby is now about two pounds, and the brain is beginning a period of growth where over 50 percent of your baby's energy used will be for this purpose. The lungs are developing air sacks (alveoli), and the membrane that allows for carbon dioxide and oxygen exchange is now thin enough that your baby could take a breath by the end of the week. Even though your baby's skin is loose and wrinkly at this point, it will fill out with fat during the third trimester. Your baby's eyes are completely developed, and the brain is able to register stimuli such as sound and light.
