33 weeks as of Tuesday. I really can't believe we have made it this far but am so very thankful we have.
Baby weighs a little over 4 pounds & around 17" in length. About the size of a pineapple. Start gaining about half a pound a week.
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.
The pupils of her eyes can now adjust to bright or dim light, just like yours.
Your amniotic fluid has reached its maximum level now — there's simply no more room! With less fluid to cushion them, your baby's kicks might feel a bit uncomfortable.
