This week I weigh almost 4 pounds and measure 17 inches long – about the size of a jicama (un jícama).  My sleeping and waking patterns are more distinct.  In fact, this past week I have been waking mom up with my strong kicks.  At one point my kicks were so hard that she wondered whether or not she could be having contractions!

About half of the weight mom is gaining (almost a pound a week) is going directly to me.  I now have toenails, fingernails, and real hair, and my skin is becoming soft and smooth.  Mom is definitely noticing the toll the weight gain is taking on her feet and legs at night and is a bit awkward when bending over, but overall is feeling great!
