7 weeks until due date, 3 weeks until Q-date (eek!) we know from the ultrasound on monday that roo-2 weighs much more than 4 pounds. i'm still feeling really good, better than i did at this stage with Q (though to be fair, i am not in virginia in july, packing and moving an entire household by myself in the 90 degree humid weather!) my nesting instinct is in overdrive, probably because i didn't have a house to nest in with Q. the newborn clothes are out of storage, washed, folded, and put away. the bassinet is set up in our room, just awaiting the sheets i ordered for it. i bought a 2nd boppy on craigslist so i can have an upstairs one and a downstairs one. there's still a few things left on the baby preparedness checklist, but we're getting there!!

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.

The words "heft a pineapple" are really strange to me. I definitely saw the word "nipple" in there at first glance.
