Fruit-o-Meter #23.

"Your baby is gaining about an ounce a day. He now weighs almost 6 pounds (like a crenshaw melon) and is more than 18 1/2 inches long. He's shedding most of his downy hair that covered his body, as well as the vernix caseosa, the waxy substance that protected his skin during his nine-month amniotic bath. Next week, your baby will be considered full-term. Most likely he's in a head-down position (note: our doctor confirmed yesterday that Baby R is indeed head down), but if he isn't, your doctor may try to turn your baby by manipulating him from the outside of your belly."
