33 Weeks!

This week Dani weighs a little over 4 pounds and has passed the 17-inch mark. She's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and her skeleton is hardening. The bones in her 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 (although she won't be going that route). These bones don't entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as her enormous brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood.
