Week 33: I'm a chunky monkey!

Fetal development in pregnancy week 33

~length
17.2 in | 44 cm

4.2 lbs | 1.9 kg

For all the weight and bulk you’re lugging around these days, you’d think your little champ would weigh more than a mere 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!
And how's mom doing?
Forgetful!!! Mom cannot remember where she puts anything these days, and needs to put everything in her phone calendar for constant reminders.
Noticing a trend that you, Baby Weldon, loves to kick when mom drives - she is hoping that does not lead to a trend that they will have to get in the car to put you to sleep :)
Mom's tummy is feeling large, gets in the way and Mom continues to have a hard time bending over and gets out of breath with just putting one shoe on.
Nesting has started for Mom, she has a list every week of cleaning she wants to do along with organizing the house - she has started with their junk drawer and is moving to cleaning the walls this weekend.
Mom is excited but feeling overwhelmed with the timing of your arrival coming so fast!!  Mom feels as if she has so much time but then it could all come to an end at any time.....Mom loves the fact that she has now started talking to you and plays games with you.  Such as pushing where your feet are until you kick - almost just trying to wake you to make sure you are still there ;)  She loves the kicks but wow do they get hard.
