33 weeks and 5 days!
I have been slacking, big time. Todd and I had 2 baby showers this weekend and our Nursery is FINALLY being delivered tomorrow so we have been a WEE BIT BUSY! I will elaborate a bit more later on our wonderful showers. Although another update is due in 2 days, for now:
Here is what is happening with Baby Benzin this week...
This week Baby Benzin weighs a little over 4 pounds (heft a pineapple) and has passed the 17-inch mark. Baby is rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and the skeleton is hardening. The bones in the skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for Baby Benzin 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 the brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood.
Another update and picture (hopefully) in just a few days!!
