Week 33 Info:
This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds (heft a pineapple) and has passed the 17-inch mark. She's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and her skeleton is hardening. The bones in her skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for her 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 her brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood.
I have today off because we had conferences Tuesday and Thursday night (so 2 twelve+ hour days this week) and am so excited to have time to myself and a day to relax. It has been a really busy couple of weeks so this is a much needed break! Especially since we have our baby class tomorrow from 8-4! I have a doctor's appointment at 11:15 today and other than that have no plans. Love it! It'll be a girls day with me and Kona. :)Happy Friday!!!!!
