Week 33

Holy Smokes!  33 Weeks!  We have less than 7 weeks to go!  Babylove #2 will be here before we know it!  ACKKKK!!!!!  Breathe.  In through the nose, out through the mouth.  Slow breaths.  I'm OK now.  :)

I am so excited to welcome another boy into our home.  I love being a mommy to boys.  Boys are so full of energy.  The are so loud.  They are rough and tumble.  They have a pretty crappy shoe selection.  They usually don't wear tutus.  They make messes bigger than they are. But my boy also loves his mama something fierce.  He loves to cuddle.  He's sweet and caring.  And he's promised to by me a Porche, an Aston Martin and Volvo when he gets a job.  Hope he gets a good job or that his brother will at least share the costs. :) Looking forward to adding another to the mix.

Everytime I go to the doctor, I climb up on the exam table and lay down.  The midwife covers me with a sheet and then the doctor checks me over.  The first thing the doctor always does is gives my ankle a little squeeze.  I always thought it was just a kind reassuring gesture.  But I think he's really checking to see if I've developed cankles.  :(  I liked it better when I thought he was just being nice - a cankle check doesn't seem as personal.

Babylove #1, has officially been accepted into big boy school!  Whooo hoooo.  Getting into school here is tough business.  I think it was EM's lovable passport photo that won them over. Whatever it was I'm glad he got in.  Because between you and I, I was banking on him getting into this one particular school.   Now to figure out what to do with Babylove #2.  Wish I could bring him to work with me, but you and I both know that there would be no work getting done.


From BabyCenter:
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.
