Week 33

This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds 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. These bones don't entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as his brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood.

As your baby fills out even more of your belly, lots of things might start to change: Whereas before you were sashaying, you may find yourself waddling. Finding an easy position to sit in — let alone sleep — is becoming more of a challenge. And bumping into chairs and counters is par for the course.

This week was extremely rough on me. I have been feeling very nauseas and I thought that I was actually sick once I threw up Friday and Saturday. Now, I'm actually wondering if the "morning sickness" isn't returning for the last stretch in the pregnancy. I don't even know if that it possible, so if not, I guess I'm sick. I have absolutely no energy and even to stand and brush the boys' teeth in the morning is proving to be a chore. I can't wait until this passes and I can just be "pregnant" instead of pregnant and sick! What a week....6 weeks to go!!!
