This week I am over 5 pounds and about 18 inches long, about the size of a honeydew melon (un melón). It’s crowded in here!    I’m no longer flipping around and am pretty comfortable hanging out on the right side of mom’s uterus, which now extends into her rib cage.  My kidneys are fully developed and my liver can process some waste products.  Most of my physical development is now complete — I’ll spend the next few weeks putting on weight.

Mom is feeling good – more prepared and confident about things now that the house is ready and she has had some down time.  I grew quite a bit this week and she has had several ‘incidents’ when she ran into things with her belly.  There is still more growing ahead!
