time just keeps tickin' by

well, it's tuesday and we're getting into a groove--amelie and i have the house to ourselves all day so it's pretty much just like being home--only with better food! i still haven't figured out how to upload pictures to this computer so i am just posting a picture of amelie's new play tent set from target, target has the best stuff--everything always looks so good there--they could tempt me to buy garbage bags. amelie loves her new toy!
today is steven's first day back to school--which is sad!!! i love having him all to myself in the summer--his abbrev. schedule is my favorite and now he once again belongs to the music department...=-(
not too much is new today--we had a very full/fun day yesterday and met up for an impromptu play date with our friends (amelie LOVES that park and hates to leave even to see daddy!), spent a small fortune at target, ate happy meals and took a 2 hour nap together--yay! i also got amelie a new pool which i will have to document as soon as i can find my camera....
also, i've started to feel very pregnant, tired, achy lately and i don't like it. m.v.w. is getting very big and is moving allllll the time (esp. when i'm trying to sleep!). it's kind of uncomfortable but i'm trying to savor these moments...=-)
anywho, happy tuesday!

week 33 in the life of m.v.w.In these last few weeks before delivery, billions of your baby's brain cells are helping her to learn about her environment. These cells help her to listen, feel, and even see. In fact, this is another important week for visual development. By now, your baby may now be able to experience her surroundings visually, since the pupils of her eye can now detect some light. Her pupils are constricting and dilating to allow her baby to see dim shapes.

Your baby now weighs about 4.4 pounds! (Babies gain a good deal of their weight in the final few weeks before birth.) She is about 16.4 inches long from head to toe.

Other developments this week include:

Baby's head size will increase about 3/8 of an inch in circumference this week.
Baby is now sleeping much of the time.
Baby's lungs are continuing to mature.
Fat will continue to be added on to Baby's body for protection and warmth.
