33 Weeks

Dear Jorie,

This week I am 33 weeks pregnant with you. We're getting close to the end of the pregnancy! I'm starting to get excited about finally meeting you.

This week your father and I had Belly pics taken by your Uncle and Aunt. I also had Henna done on my belly, while they took pictures of the Henna getting applied. You kicked like crazy when they were flashing the camera close to my belly. I'll bet you didn't like the flashes too much.

This past week I've also been helping your Grandmother plan my shower. She's really exited about it! The shower will be on May 19th, so you better stay put until after then! On May 19th I will be 36 weeks, so really, you need to stay put at least that long, and maybe a few weeks longer.

You father and I are slowly getting the apartment ready for you. We've washed almost all the clothes we have for you, and put away a bunch of them. I'm sure there will be a lot more for us to wash and put away after the shower.

Your kicks are getting really strong. Sometimes when you kick now, you keep pushing for a while, and I can grab at whatever part of you it is poking out. You also respond when I poke you, kicking back at me.

I have an ultrasound scheduled for next Wednesday, so I'll get to get a peek at you again then. I can't wait to see your little face again, and see how much you've grown since the last ultrasound.

It's amazing to think that in less than two months, I'll be holding you in my arms.
