Our baby is about 15.7 inches long now and weighs almost three pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds him, but that volume will decrease as he gets bigger and takes up more room in my uterus. His eyesight continues to develop, though it is still not very keen; even after he is born he will keep his eyes closed for a good part of the day. When he does open them, he'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision - which means he can only make out objects a few inches from his face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)
I took a nap on Christmas day and when I woke up the baby had dropped. I now look a lot less pregnant and feel much better as well. Since the baby dropped, I have not had heartburn even once. It is so hard to believe that I only have about two more months to go. This pregnancy has flown by. I really haven't done anything to prepare for this baby because everything is still out from Jonah. I guess the next few weeks will be spent organizing clothes, blankets, and other baby things.
