Week 33: Is it just me or is getting a little cramped in here?
Fetal development in pregnancy week 33: fetus in eighth month 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—just piling on the baby fat and 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. Did you know you’ll continue feeling their movements even during labor?
Only 7 weeks left/49 days, and boy are we counting. I'm so tired, really tired. I mean this is a great experience and all BUT I really want it to be over and for Addyson to be born. I know I'm just a complainer. The lack of sleep and the ribs that constantly hurt along with my back pain and my never ending grunts as I try to get comfortable at night are just really getting to me.
In better news, her hicups are getting stronger and my belly really moves, you can feel it from the outside. She is head down still so for that I'm excited, hopefully she won't turn any time soon or any time at all. I get more stretches and movement then kicks now, she probably is just really losing room. I'm praying for a small baby !!! She likes to move around all day long, it's pretty cool until she starts stretching her foot through my ribs, once I really thought I heard a pop, maybe they really are getting bruised. Ha
The time really seems to be flying none the less, its just amazing how 9 months is almost at an end, how nice that will be. I'm just excited, every day is one day closer to seeing our beautiful little girl. Get ready for LOTS of pictures because I can't wait to show her off. I wasn't too fond of her ultra sound pictures though this last time. BUT we get to see the real thing in 7 weeks or less. Whoo hoo.
Please pray for me, I'm getting worn out...:(
I hope you all have a fabulous week.
