According to www.babycenter.com:
"Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and he weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds him, but that volume will decrease as he gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. His eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after he's born, he'll keep his eyes closed for a good part of the day. When he does open them, he'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from his face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)"
According to the iPregnancy iPhone app:
"Your baby boy is gaining weight steadily, and the head is proportional relative to the rest of the body. The bones are hardening as more and more calcium is being stored. In males, the testicles have usually descended from the upper abdomen through the groin and into the scrotum. In females, the clitoris is the most prominent landmark because the labia have not developed fully. The fine hair coating called lanugo starts to disappear between now and birth. The survival rate for babies born at 30 weeks is about 95%; of surviving infants, the rate of serious medical complications is about 25%. Remember that survival and complications rates are highly dependent on the baby's sex and race as well as the quality of the NICU. Your baby weight about 3 pounds now and is about 16 inches long!"
