32
Weeks
It's getting awfully snug in there! Our
baby weighs almost 4 pounds and is almost 17 inches long. I’m gaining a pound a
week now, and roughly half of that goes right to the baby. In fact, he'll gain
a third to half of his birth weight during the next seven weeks as he fattens
up for survival outside the womb. He has tiny toenails now, and his fingernails
have grown in, too. Some babies have a head of hair already; others have only
peach fuzz.
This
is what the baby looks like now:
And
I do believe he’s flipped to be head down now too. I noticed the kicks are now much higher and
my neighbor said I’ve dropped.

Chris and I are curious what you all think the name of the
baby boy should be. We have narrowed it down to our two favorites, but we still
want to know if you have any input. So, if you think of a name (first or
middle) that's not on the list but want to suggest it, email
us.

We’ve
had some inquiries about a baby registry.
We are registered at Babies
“R” Us.
Note that, for the purposes of this chart, babies are
measured from the crown (or top) of the head to the rump (or bottom) until
about 20 weeks. After that, they're measured from head to toe.
