Baby's now the size of a jicama!
|
By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds 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.
This has been a crazy, exhausting week for me between completing sewing orders and prepping for Leila's birthday celebrations. Lots of extra hormones and emotions too. But I've just about made it through. I think I could sleep for a week with how tired I am.
