Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and he weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds him, but that volume will decrease as he gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. His eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after he's born, he'll keep his eyes closed for a good part of the day. When he does open them, he'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means he can only make out objects a few inches from his face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)
We went to the doctor today and everything is going well! I gained 5 pounds this last two weeks, and measured 29 cm. I now have a total weight gain of 19 pounds, and although I am freaking out the doctor says that I look and am doing fine. Brayden's heart rate was 150, and my blood sugar tested normal.
We go back in two weeks and we are going to get an ultrasound so we can see him again! :)
Family on Christmas

I can hardly wait to get another peek at our baby boy! Mom
You look great. Don't worry about the weight. You will be dancing it off in no time and it is so worth every pound to have a happy, healthy baby in your arms!
