Week 33 - Flip and Family Reunion

This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds (heft a pineapple) 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.


Up until this week baby was in the breech position. The doctor warned us that if things didn't 'turn around' by week 36 we would be looking at some alternate birthing options (read: c-section). Thankfully by the end of the week baby was head down and has continued to stay that way for the time being. I continue to attend my 2X week appointments and baby continues to exceed expectations by scoring a 10/10 every time. We got an amazing 4-d image of baby's face with his/her mouth open this week. I have yet to post it to the slideshow at the right, but will. 


Friday night we headed to Tomah, WI for the Graf Family Reunion. The Graf's are Matt's Mom, Toni's side of the family. We got in late but got up early Saturday for golfing and lounging and sweating it out in the water park. We stuck around for dinner on Saturday which was a Prime Rib dinner at the Ground Round. They had a great turn out and we are looking forward to showing off our little one at the next one.
