33 Weeks

Ok; I feel better now that I am caught up! Baby girl is now 33 weeks along - only 7 weeks to go! Unreal, isn't it? Although she's a bit bigger than average, I've read that she should now be over 4 pounds and has passed the 17-inch mark in length. I can tell her bones are forming well, too, because her movements are very pronounced and her kicks to the ribs are not so forgiving! She has also had the hiccups quite a bit lately and I just love to stop what I'm doing to concentrate on her little vibrations. I can just picture her in there wondering what in the world her body is doing! It must be a little weird at first. I have also figured out what I like least about being pregnant - swollen ankles and feet. It seems like such a minor complaint, but I just can't stand it. Oh well, it will be over soon enough and it will be more than worth it! That's what I get for wanting a summer baby, too!

This weekend was my last baby shower (#4!) given by my work friends. I've had so much fun celebrating our little girl with the people who mean the most to me. It's such a blessing to be reminded how loved and supported we are in this journey. Everyone is so generous and we are beyond grateful. Now that the festivities have passed I think we're ready to just go ahead and have this little girl in our arms!
