The network of nerves in my ears is better developed and more sensitive than before.  I can now distinguish between my mom’s voice and my dad’s in conversation. I am inhaling and exhaling small amounts of amniotic fluid, which is essential for the development of my lungs. This is good practice for when I’m born and take my first gulp of air!  I am continuing to put on baby fat, weigh about 1-2/3 pounds, and measure 14 inches – about the size of an English cucumber (un pepino).

Mom is really starting to notice how big I am getting and is expected to gain 1 cm around her belly each week from now on.  She is looking forward to Spring Break next week so that she can relax and get lots of rest!
