Your pregnancy: 33 weeks
How your baby's growing:
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.

It hit me yesterday that I am going to be having a BABY NEXT MONTH. O.M.G!! I am not prepared in the slightest. Husband and I had a long talk yesterday and I think I'm calmer about it than I was. The little dude is coming no matter how prepared or unprepared we are, so we might as well just deal with it. I was able to get a couple little things done last night so I feel better.
It's just bizarre... I had just gotten used to the fact that I'm a mom of a 6 year old little girl and now we're throwing a BABY into the picture??? Oy vey, I'm gonna need counseling ;)
