Hey, all!
Sorry for the delay in the update. It's been a hectic week. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and this week we had the Law Enforcement Talent Show to benefit the Nashville Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the Child Advocacy Center on Tuesday. Then, Thursday was Turner's birthday (his 30th!). Saturday I sent Turner off to play golf and hang with Frank and Amber so I could prepare for his birthday party, and I also went to the Meet Us at the Bridge Event which is another Coalition event to honor members of the community and organizations that work to increase Domestic Violence awareness. The event also honors those who have lost their lives to Domestic Violence in Davidson County and this year, a new award for DV Survivors was added and a victim that I had worked with, Yeni Acosta, was the recipient. All in all, it's been crazy, but it's finally Sunday and we're slowing down a bit. Granted, we have a shower at my work on Thursday and an outside of work shower on Saturday, so I guess we won't get too much rest....
I'll post more on Turner's bday and his party later.
So now, for the week 33 update:
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.
