Until Ann Mason is "scheduled" to come. Ms. Ann Mason has proven to either be stubborn or lazy throughout this entire pregnancy and hasn't cooperated for over half of the ultrasounds that I have had. I had an appointment yesterday for my stress ultrasound and Ms. Ann Mason was in a mood and decided to fail it! I then had to be hooked up to a heartbeat monitor and click a button everytime she moved and she was still being stubborn and not doing that very well so they gave me a boxed grape juice with enough sugar to kill someone and she finally decided to do what she needed to so that we could "pass" and get to go home!

Dr Walsh seemed to not be concerned and told me that she would see me next week so as far as I am concerned we are clear for another week! This coming Wednesday we go for another growth ultrasound and we should know at that point whether she is making progress or at a stand still and proceed from there!

The technician did comment on her hair again and said that not only does she have A LOT it is LONG :) Who is thinking bows, bows, bows? I am!!! Watch her come out bald as a babys butt, either way I hope she stays in my belly to cook a little longer but the anxiousness is definitely rising! I can't wait to meet my baby girl!

Your pregnancy: 33 weeks
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.Note: Every baby develops a little differently — even in the womb. Our information is designed to give you a general idea of your baby's development.
How your life's changing:As your baby fills out even more of your belly, lots of things might start to change: Whereas before you were sashaying, you may find yourself waddling. Finding an easy position to sit in — let alone sleep — is becoming more of a challenge. And bumping into chairs and counters is par for the course.You may be feeling some achiness and even numbness in your fingers, wrists, and hands. Like many other tissues in your body, those in your wrist can retain fluid, which can increase pressure in the carpal tunnel, a bony canal in your wrist. Nerves that run through this "tunnel" may end up pinched, creating numbness; tingling, shooting or burning pain; or a dull ache. Try wearing a splint to stabilize your wrist or propping your arm up with a pillow when you sleep. If your work requires repetitive hand movements (at a keyboard or on an assembly line, for instance), remember to stretch your hands when you take breaks — which should be frequently
