Growing Baby: After 33 wks your baby will continue to mature and develop reserves of body fat, your baby is kicking more. Baby’s brain is developing rapidly at this time, can see and hear as most internal systems are well developed, but the lungs may still be immature. Your baby is about 18 inches long and weighs as much as 5 pounds. By 9 mo your baby continues to grow, moves less(space) is about 18 in and 7 lb

Baby weight: Baby weights are inaccurately accessed by ultrasounds. The weight doesn't look excessive but again, those are not adequately assessed and there is quite a bit of discrepancy between estimated and actual weights. I would not predict what your baby's weight would be. I'd say don't worry if your pregnancy is going well.
