This week's Baby Center update reads as follows:
This week, your baby measures more than 16 inches long. He weighs about 3.3 pounds (try carrying four navel oranges) and is heading into a growth spurt. He can turn his head from side to side, and his arms, legs, and body are beginning to plump out as needed fat accumulates underneath his skin. He's probably moving a lot too, so you may have trouble sleeping because your baby's kicks and somersaults keep you up. Take comfort: All this moving is a sign that your baby is active and healthy.
Pardon my skepticism, but this kid was determined to be 3.3lbs. three weeks ago. I think he might be seven naval oranges by now. At least the part about his constant moving is accurate. He's formed a hockey team in there these days.
