Pregnancy Update – 33 Weeks

Well, we are in the home stretch of this pregnancy journey. Thanks to my handy dandy iPhone app I can keep up with it to the day (because Lord knows my short term memory flew the coup a couple months ago). I have 6 weeks and 4 days until Christmas Eve, my due date.

We are pregnancy and parenthood newbies, and honestly until you experience this for yourself, there is nothing that can prepare you for it. . . and it is only the beginning of a lifetime of excitement.

Right now, I am overwhelmed by the near certainty that my baby is part donkey, part ninja and she is determined to break a couple ribs over the next few weeks. How can babies look so small and fragile when they are newborns, but they can feel like a one fetus demolition team while they are still in utero?

I have also learned that along with the third trimester of pregnancy comes the inability to keep a firm grasp on anything. Nope, you will drop everything. Then, you will stare at whatever item you have dropped and even though it is only a few feet away, you will look around and try to bribe anyone to pick it up for you.

Overall, this hasn't been too bad of an experience. But, I do fear the next 6 weeks. If she feels like a donkey ninja now, I can't imagine what she will feel like when she is twice as big in there.

Here's to the home stretch!
