Additionally, the development of eyelids, brows, eyelashes, nails, and hair! The bronchioles, the tiniest tubes in the lungs of your kid, begin to form. Respiratory sacs start to develop at the end of these little tubes. These sacs will be filled with tiny blood vessels by the time your baby is born, allowing oxygen and carbon dioxide to flow in and out. The uterus and fallopian tubes of your unborn daughter are already established and in position. His genitalia are now visible if you're having a boy.
