Baby continues to put on weight at about ½ pound each week. This layer of fat will help baby regulate her body temperature after leaving my climate-controlled womb. In fact, baby will be 15 percent fat at birth.. Even in the womb, baby can listen, feel, touch and see. The only thing separating her from living in the outside world is a little thing called the birth canal. Other highlights this week:
Her gums are firm with ridges that look somewhat like teeth, though her actual pearly whites won't start breaking through until she's between three months and a year old.
Baby has definite patterns of sleep and wakefulness—opening her eyes while awake and closing them while sleeping. Baby will become alert and turn her head toward light and sound just as a newborn would.
Baby is now around 18½ inches long and nearly 6 pounds—just about as big as a breadbox!
Other news: Emily has a mattress!! Her room is now complete, so come any day now little girl!!
