How your baby's growing: By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.
It’s hard for me to imagine a little 16.7 in. long person inside of me. It can’t be comfortable. Shaylin remains active. Jeremy is able to feel her much more often. I think sometimes she reacts to his voice out of excitement that she can hear her daddy. She’s already a daddy’s girl. I just know it!
