33 weeks
Baby Center says:
"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."
As for me, I've been testing my blood sugar four times a day with mostly good results. The frustrating thing is that I am consistently failing my fasting levels. This happened with the first pregnancy as well and that's how I found myself on insulin. Soooo...yeah. Pretty sure I know what awaits me at my next appointment.
My maternity leave will be beginning soon. January 4th is my last day of work. Thankfully, I also have time off the week of Christmas so the number of working days between now and freedom is in the single digits. Yay!
