33 Weeks and Counting

So, here are a couple profile/belly shots for you. Yes, I am starting to waddle, and despite the aches and pains, swelling and such, I am trying to enjoy these last few weeks of pregnancy- I still have a lot to do before she's here. I can't say that I am one who enjoys being pregnant, but I love the pay off for the sacrifice, and you just never know when it will be your last time to feel a little life growing inside you and participate in the creation of a little one.


Anyone care to guess how big our little belly bean is going to be? She has a little over 5 weeks left to grow which will put her at just over 38 weeks. Her increase in size is not affecting her activity level in the slightest; she is just as active as ever, and it sure seems like she is making sure to utilize every nook and cranny and make sure I know she is there. I thinking her length might be more of the issue than her weight, but we'll see. The kids are definitely getting a show and are already bonding with her. George is constantly kissing my belly and loves to bare it for the world to see. Pauly is also pretty fixated on it as well; he loves to hug and rub my belly, and he says he will miss it when it's gone. I go next week for another ultrasound to check her size and recheck the placement of the placenta before surgery.

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers- soon I'll be posting her beautiful face.
