33 weeks along [49 days or less to go!]

ALOHA! The little boy should be about as big as a pineapple right now! The birth mom says he's growing big and she and the Dr. would not be surprised if he comes early and estimate he will probably be about 8 lbs!

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.
