33 Weeks

Well here is a picture of me at 33 weeks and 1 day pregnant with Mr. Jack! I look at that and just from LAST NIGHT, I feel like he has put on like 3 pounds! The discomfort is becoming more and more frequent at this point in my southern regions and 6 and 1/2 weeks seems like an eternity from now! (Though I hope that it will just "sneak" up on me!) I have my 34 week appointment next Thursday and will use a whole day off from work and hopefully get some things for Jack while I am in Lubbock. The poor thing hardly has anything to call his own but I'm sure that will change soon enough. We have found furniture and will hopefully get that pretty soon and then get to taking apart and putting together! (A great excuse not to have to help is lugging around Jack!) It's funny because as I was looking back at pictures of Berk and my journey with her, we had her room done when I was 27 weeks pregnant and I was washing clothes at 30 weeks! Boy how it is different the second go-round! I was thinking yesterday about my upcoming doctor's visits and everything and there is a very real possibility that Jack and Berk could be born exactly 18 months apart. The way that this could happen is because I have an appointment on the Thursday, March 4th (he is due Monday, March 8th); you see, when I went in for my appointment with Berkley Tate on Thursday, September 4, 2008, (just 2 days before her due date) I was only 1 centimeter dilated but had high blood pressure. There were a few questions that followed and then it was "Get over to the hospital NOW and we will have a baby by sometime tomorrow!" Talk about a "WHOA MOMENT!" Of course they were concerned about toxemia and pre-eclampsia, which thankfully I had neither, Berk just wanted to do things her way! (Nothing out of the ordinary with that now days either!) So, if I go in on Thursday, March 4th and have high blood pressure again, Mr. Jack and his big sis could be exactly 18 months apart! WOWZER! Are we ready for THAT BIG MILESTONE----most likely NOT, but we are going to have to get ready because it will be here sooner than later! But anyway just thought I would share a pic and some history! Hope you have a great week!
