33 Weeks Pregnant: Pineapple
This week I am 33 weeks pregnant! Baby Berry is now a little over 17 inches head to heel and weighs a little over 4 lbs (about as much as a pineapple).
My Dad was here for a visit this week. He drove out to bring all my precious things from my baby shower in November out to my house in Texas. With me working at home he was able to put all the things together that he brought out with him and then ask me where to put them because I am here all day, but of course still working. Luke enjoying having someone to follow around during the day, but he stayed on the couch a good bit and watched Dad work. The curtains are now hung, the chair has cushions, the baby contraptions are all put together. The walls do not really have art work yet, but other than that the room is certainly ready for a baby, which is good because he is coming.
While Dad was here we went to my regularly scheduled bi-weekly doctors appointment. Just the regular stuff at this point. Making sure nothing has changed and that I still feel like I did two weeks before. Baby’s heart beat still sounds good and strong and he is measuring just fine. Next appointment Dr. Roberts will be looking at my cervix which means we will really know how baby is developing! It is only a matter of time at this point and time is moving forward.
Here’s how baby is developing this week:
For all the weight and bulk you’re lugging around these days, you’d think your little champ would weigh more than 4 pounds! But once you add in the placenta, amniotic fluid, and extra blood, you’ve got at least 10 pounds of baby and their life-support gear smooshed up against your organs!
In terms of appearance, your sweet lil’ looker is getting cuter and pudgier every day as they pile on that adorable baby fat.
And as you know all too well, your womb kick-boxer is getting stronger with every passing day. Heck, it’s even possible to observe a well-placed belly-wobbling kick just by watching your belly! Despite their obviously increasing strength, your bigger-by-the-day baby will actually start dropping their rate of movement in the last few weeks, no thanks to their restricted womb space.
33 WEEKS PREGNANT:
Current Weight: 158lbs (-2lb last week, 26 lbs total)

I am not exactly getting bigger according to the scale, but I assure you that baby is still growing and that he is doing just fine. From the pictures you can certainly that he is growing. He is certainly consuming more space than his share these days.
