Pineapples!

(9/6) All 3 boys made jam with Dad yesterday.  I peeled the peaches, and the little boys apparently thought they were helping with all that kicking!

(9/7) NST today: Baby B was my sleeper this time.  I'll take 1.5 hrs over 5 any day though!  Today's RN is a runner, so we had lots to talk about.

(9/8)
Close enough to 33 wks!
(9/9) 33 weeks!  BabyCenter has this to say about this week:
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.
Prenatal visit:  All good and we now have birthdays!  We will meet the boys October 14th (well, unless they arrive earlier).  Can't wait!
