How your baby's growing: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. (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.See what your baby looks like this week.
K gets to go camping, I get a sore throat and stuffy nose. Fun. I did get to pick out a very nice baby shower gift today, a rocker recliner from lazy boy. I was thinking of a glider but this chair reclines, very nice. Time to make dinner, I'm off like superwoman in a flurry of slowness.
