Kyle & I have been attending birthing/parenting classes too. We went to one last night & we got to take a tour of the hospital. That's when Kyle said it really started sinking in. :) I'm so glad I signed us up for those classes (even though Kyle doesn't really like going - I know he will be glad he did later!). I have learned a lot of stuff that I didn't really know much about before. We only have 2 more of those classes & then a CPR class & we are done with them.
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.
