Emily's
skin is beginning to thicken with a layer
of fat stored underneath for insulation
and nourishment. Antibodies are building
up. She absorbs a gallon of amniotic fluid
per day; the fluid is completely replaced
every three hours. Her taste buds are
developed and she seems to have a sweet
tooth. She is responding to familiar noises
such as her mother's voice and music and
she will gain two more pounds this month.
