By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (
pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.

I think it's funny that I didn't even know how to pronounce jicama until I lived in Arizona... You hardly ever see or hear about them on the east coast, but now I have one in my belly!
Brandon asked if our jicama-jig was going to get the jiccups...hee hee. He's so silly. :)
