Still motoring along into week 33. PJs is approximately the size of a pineapple, according to one "information" source! I assume they mean the body is the size of a pineapple? Or do they mean the weight? Whatever the basis, I should mention that I let last week pass without my favourite reference from the first pregnancy magazine I bought way back in August - last week PJs was the size of a SMALL CAT! That is both so funny and so creepy.Mr. Peej is kicking up a storm and I really love it. I think last night he was trying out some serious exercise routine in there - he was bouncing off the walls and keeping his mama awake for ages in the middle of the night. Maybe it was the delicious Japanese food I ate for dinner that excited him?
What PJs is up to this week:
The growth spurt continues: by the end of this week your baby now weighs about 4.2 pounds / 2 kilograms and could measure as much as 43.7cm/17.2in long from top to toe. By now, he's probably head down in your uterus - most babies are at this point - though he may continue to change position.
Your baby's skull is still quite pliable and not completely joined, in part so he can ease out of the relatively narrow birth canal. But the bones in the rest of his body are hardening. Your baby's skin is also gradually becoming less red and wrinkled.

I can see why the experts would make comparisons to fruit; but to compare the baby to a live animal is just wrong! I mean, what pregnant mother wants to have the image of a hairy little cat inside their stomach? Really, if they want to make these kind of references at least use something a little more entertaining like a lemur or a sloth... or better yet a Tersier (Oddly fascinating looking creatures those are : )
Tersier - I had no idea what that was until I checked! I've seen that before, but good gravy, what a name! :-) I'd rather just pet one or maybe get it another cup of coffee and not picture it kicking me right now!
