33 Weeks

Today is 33 weeks!  Dunebuggy is approximately 19 inches and 4.5 lbs, although the ultrasound last week had her weighing in at 4 lb 13 oz.  We'll just have to wait and see when she is born if she truly is a big baby or not!  According to my iPhone app, right now she is equivalent to a pineapple.  

I have been starting to have little discomforts (if not pains) here and there.  It's definitely a sign that Dunebuggy is getting bigger and putting more pressure on my body.  Getting out of bed is not as easy as it used to be.  I used to sit up to get out of bed, now it's become more of a roll out of bed which I am getting pretty good at considering I am up at least 3 times a night going to the bathroom.

I looked back at my earlier belly pictures the other day and was amazed at the changes my body has made.  When I took my 18 week photo I thought I had a respectable baby bump at the time.  Looking at it now I don't even look pregnant!

Brandon and I have always laughed at the TV shows and movies when they show a pregnant woman's belly.  We always thought it looked so fake, like they just strapped this huge belly on to the woman.  Now that we have seen what my belly looks like we both agree the TV and movies are doing a pretty good job of portraying bellies, because it certainly looks fake in real life.

We had our maternity pictures scheduled for Saturday evening, but have had to reschedule due to the massive amount of rain we have been getting this week.  The chance of rain during our pictures quickly jumped from a 30% chance to 100% so the photographer and I agreed it would be best to go ahead and change the time.  Now we will be taking our photos this upcoming Monday after work.  I am a little relieved as I am still unsure of what we will be wearing.  Now, I'll have a little more time to prepare.  I'm looking forward to getting them done and sharing them with you!
