Week 33

7 weeks left! Jay and I graduated from childbirth classes. We had a lot of fun and we got a bunch of free stuff at the end, so Jay was happy :) I am really excited, but still don't feel ready.

NEW: We have added a baby pool where you can guess the birth date, sex, and weight. Click on the link to the right.Give us your best guess!
Of course I wanted to do it for money, but Jay said no. HAHA!

Here is what's happening to Baby (from Babycenter.com):This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds and measures 17.2 inches. Thanks to his recent weight gain, he's losing that wrinkled alien look. Most of your baby's bones are hardening now, but his skull is still quite pliable. It's actually in separate pieces with spaces in between. This flexible structure allows your baby's head to compress so it can fit through your relatively narrow birth canal. The pressure on the head during birth is so intense that many babies are born with a conehead-like appearance. This is totally harmless, normal, and temporary. His skull plates won't completely fuse until he's about 9 to 18 months old.

Here is what's happening to Me (from Babycenter.com):You may be feeling some aches and even numbness in your fingers, wrists, and hands. Like many other tissues in your body, those in your wrist can swell, which can increase pressure in the carpal tunnel, a bony canal in your wrist. Nerves that run through this "tunnel" end up pinched, creating numbness, tingling, shooting or burning pain, or a dull ache.
