33 weeks! 7 weeks to go!

I'm officially 33 weeks today. 7 weeks (49 days) to go! My next ultrasound appointment is on 8/22 and I can't wait! The nursery is almost done! The painting is finished and the moldings are installed. We just have to steam clean the carpet. I can't wait to put the crib up and start decorating the room. I want to get a dresser and a bookcase and we still need to buy curtains, etc.. How exciting. :)

I found out that a girl I work with, who was also pregnant, just had her baby (she was due 1 week before me). She & the baby are doing well. But now I'm the only one left! lol I just wonder if I'll go early, on time, or late!

Per Babycenter.com: 
This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds and has passed the 17-inch mark (about the size of a pineapple). 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.

Baby is the size of a durian fruit (or pineapple):

 I've never actually seen a durian fruit... and I don't think I'd ever want to try one after reading up on it!

Looking forward to:     finishing the nursery, setting up the crib & changing table, my ultrasound on 8/22, & booking my maternity photo session! :D

 

Baby has the hiccups right now. :) Kinda funny.
