Today I enter the third trimester! I weigh about 2-1/4 pounds and my brain, which was smooth up till now, has grooves and is indented on the surface (I am developing billions of neurons). The hair on my head is longer and my body is filling out – I am adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world. I can also see more clearly the light that filters in through the womb.
Last night I went to my first concert in utero – Dave Matthews Band! Mom was a little worried about all of the noise but I did just fine.

Are you the size of Bok Choy? What a miracle you are baby Gray – developing billions of neurons. It so hard to understand the magnitude of what that means. Maybe your dad can tell us that if we had a billion jelly beans they would go from Detroit to ____???? I understand that after you make all those neurons that your brain starts to make more streamlined pathways for processing information while you are in-utero and that you will actually start to pare down the number of neurons before you are born.
