"33"

It's been a while since I've updated on my pregnancy. Things are going well other than the increasing aches and pains! :) I am especially getting a lot of ligament pains in my lower abdominal area...more so than my last pregnancies.

I had my Dr. appt yesterday and I just had to laugh at my stats...

33 weeks pregnant
measured 33 cm
weighed 133 lbs.

Now, if only I was still 33 years old! Either way, it makes it really easy to remember where I was at during this time of my pregnancy!

Apparently the baby's head is sitting really low into my pelvis. Chet and I were even talking about how different I am carrying this one compared to the others. It is really low and right in front. The other's I carried more into my back it seems. I guess that explains why I am having so many pains in my groin area! But hey, on the bright side maybe that means LESS pushing!!!

I am starting to feel a bit anxious and overwhelmed at everything coming so close to an end. There is still so much to be done, yet I'm ready to be done. What scares me the most is the starting all over again. Hunter is now 4 1/2, very independent and I was kind of enjoying a little bit more freedom. Yet, at the same time the thought of him going to kindergarten next fall and leaving me home alone saddened me. I'm not ready for that time in my life either. So, here we are...no turning back now. Ready or not here baby comes!

Here's what's happening with baby!

For all the weight and bulk you’re lugging around these days, you’d think your little champ should weigh much more than a mere 5 lbs and measly 17 inches in height, but nope, that’s about the average size for a baby in its thirty-third week. In terms of appearances, they’re getting cuter and pudgier every minute as they pile on the baby fat for those adorable little wrist rolls and chubby toes. And as we’re sure you’ve already noticed they’re getting stronger with every passing day. Nowadays, it’s possible to observe a well-placed kick just by watching your belly—but you already knew that didn’t you? Although they’re getting stronger, your bigger-by-the-day baby is losing space to move around, so the actual rate of movement will drop off in the last few weeks, despite that powerful drop-kick they’ve been working on. Hey, did you know you’ll continue feeling their movements even during labor?
