Week 32: This Week You are The Size of...


...a jicama?! I'm sorry to admit that this is yet another fruit/veggie that I've never heard of.

Olivia is weighing in at 3.75 pounds and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in the uterus. Apparently Ali is gaining about a pound a week (...oh yeah, she's overjoyed!) and roughly half of that goes right to the baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb.

She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth. About 55 days until the due date!
