Milestones:
 "Baby Boy isn't so little anymore and is most likely weighing close to seven pounds and measuring around 20 inches in length.  His fetal development is nearly complete as he's shedding his vernix and lanugo.  Baby's also producing MORE surfactant, which prevents the air sacs in his lungs from sticking to one another once he starts breathing.  Most changes in his development are now small, but still very important!  He's still adding fat and fine-tuning his brain and nervous system."
