Bring on the bulk! Baby gains about 6 ounces this week. The weight is in muscle, bone mass and organs.
His body begins to fill out with his appearance increasingly becoming more like a newborn.
Taste buds begin to form. If mom drinks something strange or bitter, baby may be observed showing his distaste.
Little creases have appeared on his palms. The muscular coordination of his hands has improved as he sucks his thumb.
Over the next seven days the sweat glands will be forming in the skin.

Boy was that right, and they don't stop now adding on bulk. Harley is 20.8 pounds right now and I feel every ounce when I carry her on my hip... Way to go momma, not long now!
Love you

God is so good. I love how there is so much information about exactly what is happening. Imagine sweat glands forming in the next 7 days!
