From Baby Center:
How your baby's growing:
By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) 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.
The little one is moving a bunch, especially enjoying kicking me under the right ribcage as of late. According to my doctors, she's been in a breech position for the last month; the last several days she has felt a little more sideways than breech. I felt some hiccups pretty strongly to the left of my belly button today, so I'm hoping that means her head is making its way downward and she's shifting into the right position for birth.
