As of the 16th we are on week 34 and in my book that I have it says that peanut will weigh about 5 pounds (a size of a bag of sugar. He will gain a couple more pounds until he is born. Peanuts brain continues to form and now has billions of neurons. But the brain must now accomplish the complex task of connecting the neurons and synapses together. With trillions of connections continuously forming, it makes it easier for peanut to learn even while in the womb.
This brain development can cause the baby to sleep frequently at this stage. I don't see how, when my wife tells me he kicks a lot all day. He may even be dreaming while he sleeps. Apparently his eyes move back and forth like adults in REM sleep
