He is still a Papya - He is not growing as long now and is filling out instead. He is around at approximately 11.8 inches and 2.2 pounds - Depending on where you get the estimates from! He is starting to produce white blood cells, an important component of blood that is responsible for combating disease and infection, and may respond to touch or sounds. Expect to gain about a pound per week this month.
This has been a busy time for our little guy - nipples are starting to sprout, and that cute little face is fully formed, including functional ears! So Watch what you say -- baby is now able to hear outside noise from down in the womb. Studies show that baby finds gentle music and your own voice most soothing, though he has heard quite a bit from his daddy so I'm sure that is comforting as well. She is also starting to settle into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day.
