Mom, I'm like an eggplant (37.6cm, 1005 grams)

I've crossed the magical 1-kilogram threshold! I can now blink my eyes and focus vision, and my eyes react to lighting changes. My brain is mature enough that I can control some basic life functions, like partially body temperature and breathing rhythm. Fatty tissue now comprises about 2-3% of my body mass and will rapidly increase. The skull is still soft and flexible - bones aren't yet fused, which will help me pass through the birth canal. The brain produces brain waves similar to those in newborns during different sleep phases.

Remember mom, every child develops at their own pace and has their unique timeline. If you have any doubts about my development in your belly, consult with a doctor.
