Weekly Update: Week 23!!!!

How Evelyn's growing:

Evie is now around 11 inches long and probably weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango). Her skin is red and wrinkled. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare her for breathing. She can swallow, but she normally won't pass her first stool (called meconium) until after birth. Loud noises heard often in utero — such as your dog barking or the roar of a vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze Evelyn when she hears them outside the womb.

Note: Every baby develops a little differently — even in the womb. This information is designed to give you a general idea of your baby's development.
