35 Weeks...

Your babies weigh about 5 pounds each and stretch out to 17 inches and stem cells in their bone marrow continue to produce red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets to maintain a healthy immune system, but there is not really any development remaining for arms, legs, brain or organs. Your babies will simply continue to add that adorable baby fat as they ready for their big debut.

Twins are usually born within an hour of each other. The average birth weight of twins is 5 pounds, 5 ounces, but there may be a difference of two to three pounds between the twins' birth weights. And even though twins and multiples are smaller and weigh less than singleton babies at birth, studies have shown that multiples catch up to their singleton counterparts quickly and by age four, they are the same height.





*The average baby weighs almost five and a half pounds now.
*Most babies born now will survive and without many long-term problems.
*Fat accumulations plumps up the arms and legs this week. These layers of fat will help her regulate her body temperature. They also provide those cute little dimples on elbows and knees!
*Her hearing is fully developed, so be sure to talk to your daughter. Do you find yourself speaking in a high-pitched tone? That's okay since some studies show babies respond better to higher pitches.
*It's getting crowded! Your baby is now taking up most of the uterus and you may even feel like your chest has run out of room! Soon enough though, baby will move down and you'll be able to breathe easily again (just not walk so easily! Ha!).
*Your baby is 18.2 inches (46.2cm) long and weighs 5.3 pounds (2383gm).
*The testes have completed their descent in males.
