I haven't posted in awhile so I thought I'd give you guys some random information. According to babycenter.com the baby is the size of a pineapple at 33weeks.



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.

And this is what he supposedly looks like. If this is true, it explains the hiccups in my butt. Sorry if that's TMI but that's pregnancy apparently.




Mike and I started our Child Birth classes last night. For those of you who know Mike, know that he can't really be serious. He had me giggling when we were supposed to be focused on breathing. I won't even tell you some of the stuff he was saying! On a positive note, I was a lot smaller than a lot of the girls in the class. That also made me worry a little though. Why am I smaller than some girls who are due after me? A pregnant woman is never satisfied!

Up next.....we hope to have the nursery somewhat put together soon. I will post pictures! Mike Jr. will have the nicest room in the house for sure!
