What's Baby Up To?

Your pregnancy back pain may have you tied up in knots but your baby's getting ready to bust a move. At five and a half inches long and five ounces in weight, s/he now may be large enough for you to feel him twisting, rolling, kicking, and punching his/her way around the womb. Plus, s/he's developing yawning and hiccuping skills (you may feel those soon, too!) and his/her own unique set of toe and fingerprints.
