Week 33

Dear Sweet Pea,

I'm posting one day early since we'll be away this weekend for Easter. Tomorrow I will be 32 weeks along, and I am so ready to meet you!
This week you are probably about 4.5lbs, and 19.5inches (43cm) from head to toe! Your lungs might be sufficiently developed now, but if you were born today you'd still need to stay in an incubator to keep warm. You are big enough to be running out of room in there, and you do more rolls than kicks and punches now. You should be in your birth position by now. You are putting on lots of cute baby chub which means you'll be gaining about 1/2lb per week from now on. Will you be a big baby like Daddy was, or just average like I was?

My blood volume has increased by about 40% at this point, and my uterus has grown 500 times bigger! I'm definitely feeling aches and pains everyday, the worst being lower back, pelvic, and groin discomfort. Its getting harder and harder to sleep because I wake up so often to either pee or change position. I am also dealing with acid reflux and congestion most nights..fun! I am beginning to understand why pregnant women just want it to be over two months before their due date!

Now for the latest belly photo:
