At somepoint, I messed up. We have been a week behind on here...

Our baby now weighs about 3.3 pounds and measures about 17 inches. Growth will begin to slow down now, but the average weight of babies at birth is around 7 pounds.

Baby is opening and closing their eyes this week. A brain scan would show that our baby is probably having dreams now. Lungs are quickly developing now, getting ready for full time work after birth. White fat is now being deposited beneath the skin, which helps make baby’s skin look pink.

Mary is now seeing her health practitioner every two weeks. Oour doctor will be checking Mary's blood pressure and any swelling in her arms and legs, measuring the baby, asking her about how the baby is moving around and keeping close tabs on her and the baby in general. He’ll start paying attention to what position the baby is in now, as the birth gets closer. About 96% of babies born are born head first. The rest are born breech with the buttocks or feet coming first. Having a breech birth does not mean an automatic cesarean section. It’s getting close to time for Mary to remove her rings, because with swelling it can become very hard to remove these later.
