Little E is growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. He is kicking more and more each day. He either loves or hates American Idol as he moves the entire time the show is on.
Since he's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world.
