This week our 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. These bones don't entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as his brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood. Little Campbell continues to kick and move a lot...although, with him getting bigger it mostly feels like he is stretching out...which I would be too if I was crammed inside like that for 9 months. We're looking forward to him joining us in about 7 weeks!
