Fetal development in pregnancy week 7

Week 7  Monday May 7th
Your sea-monkey is turning into an alien!
No seriously, thanks to their new bulbous eyes and a creepy bulging-but-pointy forehead, your wee womb tenant now looks more like a bobble-headed alien than a manatee!
Mini-alien's eyes and ear pits are their most clearly defined facial features. Additionally, miniature bones are starting to harden.
Even more exciting - your alien is some variation on a boy or a girl at this point, although their genitals won't be visible enough to determine which color cigars you're going to buy until around the 16th week.
And to really cap off their alien look: the tiny receding tail bud is now starting to be overshadowed by the growth of their tiny weird legs (finally!), which are now complete with knees and the beginnings of toes!
