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, he'll gain a third to half of his birth weight during the next 7 weeks as he fattens up for survival outside the womb. He now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). His skin is becoming soft and smooth as he plumps up in preparation for birth.
First of all, if anyone can tell me what a Jicama is without googling it, I have a hundred dollars for them! Second of all, we know Chuck is a little bit bigger than average so I am probably carrying a little over 4 pounds of pure baby. And with his long legs he is more that 16.7 inches. I will not admit to gaining a pound a week and think I may decline looking at the scale at our appointment on Monday!
