· Much of the vernix has vanished but you will notice traces on his/her body.
· 15% of our child’s body is fat. Since he/she hasn’t learned to shiver yet, these fat stores will help regulate Pudding’s temperature.
· Our baby’s chest sticks out, almost as if Pudding’s ready to strut proudly over his/her accomplishment!
· Our little one’s lungs will continue developing until birth. They are manufacturing large quantities of surfactant which works to keep the air sacs open.
· Our baby now weighs approximately 7.6 pounds (3462gm) and is 20.2 inches (51.2cm) long.
· It’s been a long journey and really, it’s only just the beginning of another even more incredible journey which we all call “life.”
Making the decision to have a child is momentous… it is to decide forever to have your heart walking around outside your body.
