By the end of this week, your baby is now 15.7 inches long and weighs 2.91 pounds.

Toenails are entering their final growth stage.

Bone marrow is now in charge of red blood cell production. These red blood cells will continue to service your child’s body by transporting oxygen and removing the wastes (carbon monoxide and other gases).

Your baby has the capability now to produce tears — yes, within the womb.

My baby weighs about as much as a large mango — just over a pound. (Length: more than 11 inches.)

Blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby’s increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing his for entry into the outside world.
