From this week on, your baby will continue to gain around ½ pound a week until shortly before birth (even though it may feel like a whole lot more with every step you take). Other highlights this week:
Due to increasing space constraints, baby's arms and legs stay drawn up close to the body now, known as the fetal position. Plus, baby can now process information from all five senses—so she'll be all set to smell the pureed peas, taste them, and feel them as she mashes them into her hair.
By now, baby's lungs are the only system not fully mature. Her lungs need a little bit more time to bake before they can kick it in the outside world.
Your baby weighs about 3½ pounds and measures a little over 16 inches.
