Baby's size: Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus.
Baby's development: Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)
Best of the week: Telling friends and family our baby's name and getting sweet responses! Having people rub my belly! Yes, I enjoy when friends/family to that! Also, Bella enjoyed my favorite cheese fries of all time from Wings in Birmingham! Can't beat it!
Worst of the week: Not getting enough sleep due to hectic schedules
Side Effects: I might as well live in the bathroom! :)
Cravings: Still sweets! Right now I am into Milk Duds and Reeses cups!
Anticipating: Enjoying a weekend relaxing at home and getting some of these to-do items done! :)
