Your baby's waiting to greet the world! He continues to build a layer of fat to help control his body temperature after birth, but it's likely he already measures about 20 inches and weighs a bit over 7 pounds, a watermelon. (Boys tend to be slightly heavier than girls.) The outer layers of his skin are sloughing off as new skin forms underneath. He's probably able to flex his limbs now, his brain is still rapidly developing -- he's getting smarter by the week, and his nails may extend past his fingertips.
