Riley's permanent teeth have developed and are waiting in her gums. She is very aware of her surroundings and her eyelids will open and close. She will even look around and turn toward light. We tend to think of the uterus as a dark place but the uterus actually can be light and dark depending on our environment. Our baby weighs almost three pounds now and is approximately 15.5 inches long.I can distinguish sleeping and waking cycles in our baby. Although it usually seems as if the baby wants to sleep while I am awake, and vice versa, this is not indicative of a sleepless newborn. Our baby can not only hear my voice, but can recognize it. Also, she has a grip so strong it is capable of gripping my finger. At this point, our baby may be practicing nursing as she sucks her thumb. She has lungs that are capable of breathing air, although medical help may be needed. About 9 out of 10 babies born now will survive.
