Yet another week closer! I had my bi-weekly appt this week and I'm still measuring about a week ahead. My Dr just said that if I continue to measure ahead when time gets closer she might want to take a look and see how big baby is :) I also signed up for some physical therapy to ease some back/hip/pelvic pain I've been having. I start next week so I'll update you if I see any improvements. Baby is growing, my stomach is stretching to unbelievable sizes, ha and I still have 7 weeks left! I'll try to post a picture tomorrow.
33 week update - "Heft" of a Pineapple! (Gotta love babycenter.com updates :))
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.
