Happy Brown Family: Blair, Heather, baby b, Spence
-Amniotic fluid is at its highest level during your pregnancy.
-Your baby's head size has increased 3/8ths of an inch due to rapid brain growth.
-Neurons and synapses are developing in huge numbers -- forming connections in your baby's brain will give her the skills he needs to thrive as a newborn. This week, she may be able to coordinate sucking and swallowing with breathing.
-While most of her bones are hardening, her skull is quite pliable and not completely joined. The bones will be able to move slightly to make birthing easier.
-You baby takes intermittent deep breaths -- of water! That's okay, though since she gets oxygen from the placenta. This breathing exercises muscles and encourages her lung cells to produce more surfactant (a protein essential for healthy lung development).
-Your infant is now 17.2 inches long and weighs 4.23 pounds.
-Her skin has turned from red to pink. Your baby has started preparing for life outside the womb by storing iron in its liver.
