Your baby has probably reached three pounds and about 14 inches in length. She’s also filling out a bit as she continues to gain weight, and these layers of fat help her to appear less wrinkled.
As practice for breathing after birth, your baby is mimicking breathing movements by repeatedly moving her diaphragm in a rhythmic way. This can trigger hiccups if she inadvertently inhales amniotic fluid. A pint and a half of amniotic fluid now surrounds your baby, but that volume decreases as she gets bigger and has less room in your uterus.
Here's what else is happening this week:
* Baby's head continues to grow, and brain growth speeds up even more.
* Baby's hearing is improving; nearly all babies can react (by movement) to sound by this week.
On Sunday all of his kicks were way down low and yesterday they were all up high, so he's still got room to flip completely around in there. :) It's hard to believe that there are just 77 days until my due date! It's getting more real all the time and I'm so excited to meet this little guy!
