How Far Along: 38 weeks!
Size of baby: Baby Ayscue the size of a watermelon
What’s developing: Fetal development is nearly complete and she tends to a few last-minute details like shedding the skin-protecting vernix and lanugo. She's also producing more surfactant, a substance that prevents the air sacs in her lungs from sticking to one another once she starts to breathe. Most of the changes this week are small but important: She’s continuing to add fat and fine-tuning hers brain and nervous system
