Week 33

33 weeks and 3 days today!

Its funny that I feel so big, but am told I am tiny for how far along I am...





"This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds (heft a pineapple) and has passed the 17-inch mark. He's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and his skeleton is hardening. The bones in his skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for him to fit through the birth canal. (The pressure on the head during birth is so intense that many babies are born with a conehead-like appearance.) These bones don't entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as his brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood." Source



Anxiously Patiently waiting on our little one,
Kathryn

  2. Wait til the third one comes along...then you'll be huge. First babies in tall, slender, young girls usually don't show much. I've worked with girls I didn't even know were pregnant until they went on Maternity leave.
    Are you still working??
