How your baby's growing: Your baby has really fattened up. She likely weighs between 6 and 7 1/2 pounds now (boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls), and she's probably between 19 and 20 inches long. She has a firm grasp, which you'll soon be able to test with your pinky! Her organs are fully developed and in place, but her lungs and brain — though developed enough for her to function now — will continue to mature right through childhood.

Week 27
Day 189
Your baby's growing steadily as she prepares for her grand entrance. This week she weighs almost 2 pounds and measures about 14 1/2 inches from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet. She's acting more like a newborn now, opening and closing her eyes, sleeping and waking at regular intervals, and maybe sucking a finger. She may also be hiccupping, which you'll notice as little rhythmic sensations in your belly. You may start to get leg cramps, especially when you're lying in bed at night. Stretching your calf and flexing your foot should bring some relief.

Another Portrait
2006-01-27 Day 161
What's happening this week.....
Approximate length 12 to 13 inches, weight 1.25 to 1.5 pounds.
· She still has no fat on her body yet, but her arm and leg muscles are well developed.
· Her eyelids are sealed, but she makes facial expressions; frowning, squinting, and pursing her lips.
· Her nostrils are opening and preparing to draw air into her lungs.
· The alveoli “air sacs” in the lungs are forming, but not enough that she can breathe outside the womb.
