· Fat accumulations plumps up Pudding’s arms and legs this week. These layers of fat will help Pudding regulate his/her body temperature. They also provide those cute little dimples on elbows and knees!
· However, the accumulating baby fat deposits are starting to level off as Pudding is nearly at the size he/she will be when we finally meet!
· If Pudding is a boy, his testes have completed their descent.
· It’s getting crowded! Our baby is now taking up most of my uterus and it starts to feel like my chest has run out of room!
· No wonder I feel tired, I am now carrying approximately 6 lbs of baby PLUS their amniotic fluid, the umbilical cord, and the placenta itself. That’s a lot of work non-stop.
· Our baby is 18.2 inches (46.2cm) long and weighs approximately 5.3 pounds (2383gm).
