They say our baby can weigh between 1 1/2-2lbs and is about 8 1/2 inches long (standard letter size!!)

If we were wondering what (and who) Brandon will look like?  we'd almost be able to tell by now.  That beautiful face (though still tiny) is almost fully formed.  What's still missing from the picture is the fat that will be piled on under baby's skin.  Until those fat deposits are made, that very tender skin is still very transparent, which means a close look would let you see clear through to all the organs, bones, and blood vessels. Fortunately, that see-through look won't last much longer. Babies at this stage of fetal development are gaining about six ounces each week — with much of that gain coming from fat, in addition to growing organs, bones, and muscle.  With in the next month Brandon will double in weight.  Luckily for opera mommy's sake she will not.  According to my midwife for the next 16 weeks I should gain about 1lb a week.
