This week I’m about 15.7 inches long, and I weigh almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds me, but that volume will decrease as I get bigger and take up more room in Mommy’s uterus. My eyesight continues to develop, though it’s not very keen; even after I’m born, I will keep my eyes closed for a good part of the day. When I do open them, I’ll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means I can only make out objects a few inches from my face.
