Bare Naked Belly – 33 Weeks
Ok… keep in mind there are 2 in there… this is my belly at 33 weeks. Jay and I were just comparing my belly when I first started to show and can’t believe how much its grown. Huge is the word that best describes it. Nothing really fits, as far as clothes, but I refuse to go out and buy additional prego clothes. I’ve gained 50 lbs, which really isn’t too bad since my Dr. said I should plan on gaining 60-70 lbs! Although, that sounds a bit excessive.
I had 2 NST (Non-Stress tests) last week and everything seemed to be ok. It sounds like I will be monitored twice a week now until delivery, which will more than likely be by c-section.
I’ll be 34 weeks tomorrow (another great milestone) and the Dr. said the boys can come out anywhere from one to 3 weeks! Basically, if the boys aren’t growing at the appropriate rate in my belly, they will deliver them so that they can grow outside, by breast or bottle feedings.

You know – we used to laugh when Norma’s belly was 16-18weeks and it was just a little bump. Now it’s not soo funny. Those little chunky monkeys are starting to kick ribs, pelvis, bladder, anything else their little feet can reach in there.
Baby Shower Surprise!
Yay – what fun today for celebrating Norma’s baby shower. Kelly was kind enough to host the event at her house with lot’s of friends from work that came to have in on the fun. I was there in my role as official chauffeur and photographer (my usual duties) and as an unwilling guinea pig to act like the ‘donkey’ during the pin-the-tail on the donkey game.
Best Ad. Ever.
We’ve had this magazine ad hanging from our fridge for the longest of time since living in Pasadena. If life ever imitated art, this would definitely qualify. I think I had to double pinky-swear that I would not bring my laptop into the delivery room when the babies are born.
Since I want to make it out the hospital alive, I guess the advice in the ad is pretty relevant “Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”.
Anyway, the OR doesn’t have any WiFi :(

Ok family and friends, its time to get your reading glasses, contacts, magnifying glasses, glass eye, monocle, or fluoresence interference contrast microscopes together.. We’re going to play ‘Who Dat Baby Look Like??”
Now the rules are you can only reference one major face part and a relative whom it looks the closest to.. for example: “Baby A’s nose looks just like Uncle Jethro’s before he gained all that weight!”
So let the guessing begin ->
26 Weeks Belly Time
So Operation PeePee has been put into full effect the last few weeks. Norma is literally peeing about every 30 minutes when she’s awake and a good 3 to 4 times during the night. If we drive anywhere – we’re basically going from bathroom to bathroom. I guess those little chitlins are growing so much lately that the pressure on her bladder only can hold about 2 teaspoons of tinkle it seems nowadays. I guess I’m not helping the situation by making sure she continues takes her 3 protien shakes and water intake a day.
Her feet are pretty much perma-swollen as well and that’s even from laying down all day with brief spurts of activity and bathroom runs. So as I get home from work, the whip gets cracked and I get on feet rubbing duty!
I know what you’re thinking – “Man Joe, you sure have it rough”. I’ll be ok, but enough about me and my pregnancy struggles – onto the PICS!!
