7th Heaven!
Today marks the end of Week 33. That means there are exactly 7 weeks left until Baby Girl's due date :-)
So how is Baby Girl keeping herself busy these days?
BabyCenter.com tells me "This week, your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds and is approximately 17.2 inches long. She's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and her bones are hardening. Her skull, however will stay soft until after birth, to make it easier to squeeze through the birth canal (thank you ;-)). You may be waddling a bit now, as your baby fills out even more of your belly. It may be harder to sleep comfortably too. For relief, try sleeping in a recliner or propping yourself in a semi-upright position in bed."
Ah... sleep. Yes. It is eluding me these days. I've taken to falling asleep in the living room in our armchair / ottoman because it's the only thing that surrounds and supports me comfortably enough - and even then I have to stack it with pillows :-) We tried this weekend to get one of those pillows with the back and arms on it that will help you sit upright, but it's so darn uncomfortable and bulky in bed... sigh. So I fall asleep in the living room and wake up around 4:30am and move into the bedroom where I usually manage to catch a couple more hours because I'm so exhausted at that point the discomfort doesn't register! ;-) At least this way Tim gets a bit of relief from my tossing and turning and fretting as well. Poor guy!
