We are at 33 weeks and sleeping is getting tougher. I am never truly comfortable anymore and at night I have 6 to 7 pillows surrounding me and I still wake up every 2 hours to change positions and go to the restroom. Scott asked last night during childbirth class if I need to start sleeping in the recliner downstairs. I told him that I really did not want to be by myself so he has offered to sleep on the couch with me. I told him I can make it for now but next month we may be moving downstairs until Erynn arrives. Childbirth class has been fun and last night Scott got to wear the empathy belly. Twenty five pounds of extra weight was a real eye opener. They took pictures so I if I get a copy I will be sure to put it out here for you to enjoy! We meet the pediatrician we were referred to today and hopefully we will be happy with the choice. Oh, and we had the the breastfeeding versus the bottlefeeding discussion. And Scott and I are both sure that bottlefeeding is the way to go for us. I have been so adamant about bottle feeding but I thought we should probably discuss it so we were on the same page. I think maybe that is what they call a parenting decision.
Anyway, looking forward to some upcoming baby showers and drinking lots of fluids to keep preterm labor from happening. We want this girl to spend all the time she needs where she is now.
This is what is going on with her this week:
This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds and measures 17.2 inches from the top of her head to her heels. Her skin is becoming less red and wrinkled, and while most of her bones are hardening, her skull is quite pliable and not completely joined. This will help her ease out of your relatively narrow birth canal.
