Your baby doesn't have much room to manoeuvre now that he's over 18 inches long and tips the scales at 5 1/4 pounds (pick up a honeydew). Because it's so snug in your womb, he isn't likely to be doing somersaults anymore, but the number of times he kicks should remain about the same. His kidneys are fully developed now, and his liver can process some waste products. Most of his basic physical development is now complete — he'll spend the next few weeks putting on weight.
At the last ultrasound (last Friday) the wee sproggy was weighing 5lb and 7oz, so is already kickin' butt on the fatty baby front! I do love a chubby baby!
how in HEAVEN's did you get that photo done of yourself? It's just amazing Sarah! The technology in ptbo is soooo advanced!
