  1. Life Span Development

  2. Conception • Sperm breaks down the egg wall • Sperm and egg combine together to form zygote

  3. 1 Month • Embryo is formed • Embryo consists of 2 layers of cells which all organs will develop from

  4. 2 Months • Size of a kidney bean • Slightly web fingers are distinctly visible as well as feet • At 40 days, the spine begins to form

  5. 3Months • Size around 3 inches • Weighs approx. 1 ounce • Fingerprints are now evident • Now considered a fetus at this point

  6. 4 Months • Size around 5 inches (can fit in the average sized hand) • Weighs around 5 ounces • Skeleton begins to harden

  7. 5 Months • Size approx. 10 inches if fully stretched out • Eyebrows and eyelids are visible

  8. 6 Months • Weighs approx. 1 and a half pounds • Skin begins to smooth out • Baby begins to gain weight through fat

  9. 7 Months • Weighs around 3 pounds • Size around 15 inches • Eyelids begin to work and baby can see light and will follow a light

  10. 8Months • Weighs around 4 ¾ pounds • Baby begins to put on fat • Lungs are well developed
