Mommy
At this stage of the
pregnancy daily calendar
, you may find that your eyes are acting weird! Your vision may seem less sharp, and a decrease in tear production can leave your eyes dry and irritated.
Perhaps this would be a good time to start looking into selecting a pediatrician for your baby. You may actually feel comfortable sticking with your family doctor. It's all up to you.
Baby
Your baby is about 5 pounds this week! His or her eyes will now be open while awake, and closed while sleeping - just like a real newborn baby!
Fingernails and toenails are growing, and may actually need to be clipped shortly after birth!
If your baby is a boy, the testicles will start descending from the abdomen to the scrotum. About 3% - 4% of baby boys are born with undescended testicles, but this is something that shouldn't be permanent. The testicles should descend some time before he turns one.
