* Your baby weighs close to a pound at this point (ours weigh more :) )!
* Your baby can now hear your conversations more clearly than before!. When you talk, read, or sing, expect her to hear you. Studies have found that newborns will suck more vigorously when read to from a book they heard frequently in utero.
* Eyelids and eyebrows are fully formed.
* Fingernails have grown to the end of the fingers.
* Be prepared for all those "Why" questions coming! Your baby's brain has entered a stage of rapid growth, especially in what's called the germinal matrix. This structure deep in the middle of the brain serves as a kind of factory for brain cells and disappears shortly before birth. But the brain's amazing expansion program continues until around the five birthday.
* With some help from mom, baby's liver is starting to break down bilirubin, a substance produced by red blood cells.
AWESOME! FANTASTIC! I have not logged on since 1/5/06. The "Snow Babies" have grown sooooo much! They are darling. The Quinn "L's" have all taken on their own personalities. Baby Lathan, looks like, "Ooooh, life is soooo good". Baby Lauren, "I sure feel sooo comfortable" and baby Logan "If she doesn't get her hand outa my face I'm gonna give her a "what for"!
