It's the third trimester,
and your baby keeps on growing,
gaining weight, and getting
ready to meet the world.
Here's a week-by-week look
at the changes.
Your little one is about as long
as a large bok choy by week 28.
Her eyes can open
and her toenails are starting
to grow in.
Next week, she weighs about 3
pounds.
She's getting rounder as she
gains fat.
And her skin's becoming
smoother.
At week 30, she's about 16
inches long, the length
of a bundle of collard greens.
Her eyes open, close,
and respond to light.
Your baby's the length
of a rhubarb stalk next week.
And she's continuing to put
on weight fast.
She's around 3 and 1/2 pounds
the week after.
That makes her almost as
hefty as a cantaloupe.
Your little one is up to 4
pounds by week 33.
She swallows, yawns,
and practices breathing.
Plus, her brain now controls
her body temperature.
Next week, she's about as hefty
as a sugar pumpkin --
4 and 1/2 pounds.
She's putting on baby fat
and her skin isn't see-through
anymore.
Your baby weighs about 5 pounds
by week 35.
She keeps practicing
her breathing, too.
During week 36, she's about 18
and 3/4 inches long.
Wow!
That's the length
of a Swiss chard.
Her fingernails have reached
the ends of her fingers.
Her skin is pink,
and those little legs are
chubby.
Next week, she weighs about
as much as a honeydew melon --
6 pounds.
Plus, her bones and muscles
are ready for the outside world.
The week after, she's about 6
and 1/4 pounds,
as heavy as a large cabbage.
It's getting awfully
crowded in there,
and it's almost time to produce
this produce.
Your little one is about 6
and 1/2 pounds at week 39.
Her lungs are ready to breathe
and cry.
And as she drops into your birth
canal, her head molds
into a cute little cone shape.
By week 40, your baby
is around 7 and 1/4 pounds.
She's come a long way
these last 3 months,
and she can't wait to meet you.
