Week 33

I am now 33 weeks into my pregnancy.  Only 7 more weeks till I am full term.  Baby girl now weighs about 4 pounds, the size of a durian fruit, she should gain approximately 1/2 pound per week until birth.  The umbilical cord is supplying her with immune proteins called antibodies that will help fight infections after birth.  She now keeps her eyes open when she is awake (which seems to happen a awful lot when I am trying to sleep).  She is also starting to coordinate breathing with sucking and swallowing.
