How your baby's growing: Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and he weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds him, but that volume will decrease as he gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. His eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after he's born, he'll keep his eyes closed for a good part of the day. When he does open them, he'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)Monday Update from our doctor: we went to the doctor today, and everything still looks fine. My blood pressure is great and Monday's heart is chugging along right as its supposed to. My uterus didn't seem to grow too much but since we had an ultrasound 2 weeks ago and Monday was 54% percentile, the doctor wasn't at all worried about it. We see them again in 2 more weeks for another one of these check in, check measurements, make sure everything is on track kind of appointments... ahh the joys of going to the doctor every 336 hours!
