33 Weeks

Baby Williams weighs a little over 4 pounds this week - the weight of a pineapple - and has passed the 17-inch mark. My books tell me she'll grow another inch during this week alone! Baby now opens her eyes when she's awake and closes them during sleep. Her immune system is also fully developed so she can now fight off mild infections - just in time for the H1N1 virus! Whew!


I have now reached the stage of my pregnancy where my ankles are blowing up like balloons on a regular basis. Because they are so horrific, I refuse to post photos, but let's just say the word "cankles" is even an understatement. My ankles look like they belong to a 572-pound woman. I actually had to wear crocs to work twice this week because I couldn't fit my poor feet into my regular shoes. Thank goodness for crocs!
