This week the baby is still approximately the size of a honeydew melon, at 4.23 lbs. in weight, and 17.20 inches in length.

"Even though his bones are hardening, the skull is still not solid and the skull bones are not fused together. This allows for his head to reduce its diameter as it passes through your birth canal. His brain is developing more distinct functions and is capable of controlling breathing, digestive functions and body temperature. He can now tell the difference between day and night. Lungs are almost completely ready for breathing on their own and if your baby is born now, he would need only a little medical support."


It is getting to be so much more real/closer. I'm only about 6 weeks out now, and it feels like it's flying now. It's got me both excited and anxious. I'm excited to meet our beautiful little girl, but still have that feeling of being overwhelmed. My emotions have been so out of the whack the past two weeks, I'm worried that this time around, I will end up having PPD and that scares me.
