By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.
I have been dealing with an infected sebaceous cyst on my breast since about my 3rd or 4th month of pregnancy. They had to give me 4 rounds of antibiotics, they had to open it up and let the infection drain and now last week they finally were able to take it out. I now have a 2 inch scar but I am so happy its gone. I was so worried it would effect my breastfeeding. But now its healing and all should be ok.
8 more weeks and I will be a mom of two! I can't wait!
