32 WEEKS.. or is it... ?

This is what's happening this week according to babycenter.com 

By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.

33 weeks says 
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. 

At this last doctors appointment on monday, these are the changes that have happened. My weight went from 156- 163lbs. The baby's heart beat went from 150-141. My abdomen measured 30-31cm. When I visited Dr. Savage I informed her that some things had come up that have been worrying me. She advised we do an Ultrasound just to make sure that it is nothing to worry about. So I scheduled that for the next day (tuesday).

TUESDAY: The Ultrasound went great! She didn't see anything that we should worry about. In fact everything is going right. I just loved getting an ultrasound and seeing our little baby girl again. Her face is so cute and chubby, or at least what we could see because she had her hands and a foot near her face! Our baby girl also has some hair on the back of her head, probably just fuzz though. Oh and she is already in the head down position!!! The ultrasound technician took some measurements  and concluded our baby is almost 5 lbs give or take 6oz and that we appear to be farther along because of how our baby is growing. So We appear to be about 8 days ahead of our regular schedule or so, but the several measurements she made concluded a few due dates Jan 22, Jan 20th and Jan 19th.  
It's exciting news to find out you are farther along then you thought! Means possible less waiting. Well from this appointment we got to take home pictures and a recording of the ultrasound.
