Extra = The baby is 3lbs and 5oz and growing well. My other baby shower is tomorrow, so that is way exciting. Our baby girl has plumped up quite a bit since her last skeletal shot. James starts school next week, and all his books have been purchased, we are just waiting for one book to arrive in the mail, should be this week.

Baby Growth= Weighing in at three-plus pounds and measuring 18 inches long, your baby is quickly approaching her birth length — though she's got to pack on another three to five pounds before D-day. Also developing at an impressive clip: your baby's brain connections (she's got to make trillions of them!). She's now processing information, tracking light, and perceiving signals from all five senses. She's also putting in longer stretches of sleep, which is why you're probably noticing more defined patterns of wakefulness (and movement) and rest (when she’s pretty still).
