Week 33

Here are a few fun facts about the baby's development this week:

-- He weighs in at over 4 pounds and measures roughly 18-19 inches in length or more!

-- The baby is steadily gaining weight during pregnancy at 33 weeks. For the remainder of the pregnancy he will continue to put on weight. 

-- The amniotic fluid surrounding the baby will reach its highest level during pregnancy week 33, then decline somewhat as he continues to grow larger.

-- During pregnancy week 33 and beyond a baby's brain is working hard at maturing. This week the baby's head will increase in size by as much as 2/8 of an inch due to rapid brain growth and maturity.

--His skin will also start transforming into a more pink color as he starts to add fat to his body.

On the mommy front, it's very common to have difficulty sleeping, begin waddling at this stage and also bump into things, so sounds like I'm right on track as well.
