33 weeks

Wow, time flies! The last time I updated the blog on this pregnancy I was 20 weeks! I am now 33.5 weeks and I can't believe how fast this pregnancy has gone. I guess keeping up with a toddler is a good distraction. :)People have been telling me that I am carrying "differently" with this one. I definitely FEEL bigger although I am still measuring 4 weeks smaller-just like I did with Emerald and my weight gain has been less-I just feel much bigger this go 'round though.
The left picture is 33 weeks with mystery baby and the right picture is 33 weeks with Emerald.
Of course everyone always asks "what we are having" and I kinda like saying we don't know. It's a good way to get people to stop asking questions!! Next, people usually ask what I "feel" like it is and really at this point I am staying very open minded. I am very slightly leaning to the "boy" side just because this pregnancy has been so different, but I know I will not be surprised if we are having a girl. I think Sam and I are both at a good place when it comes to "the mystery gender stuff." We are both emotionally prepared for either, however if we have a boy we will have quite a bit of shopping to do!!! There has been more than one time that we have been out shopping and we have said, "I wish we knew what we were having" just for the pure convenience of knowing, but I am still excited that it will be a surprise. I just feel the announcement will be that much more fun!
The "problem" we have run into, is in the name department. It's much easier to focus on one gender when choosing a name. It's harder to put your heart and soul into a name that you might not use. So that's another thing when people ask I can just say, "we are still figuring it out" then we don't get all the weird looks or unsolicited advice about our name choices! I just hope we have a name when the baby arrives!
So what do y'all think? Boy or girl?

I loved the anticipation during my pregnancy with Elli. We didn't find out either. I love surprises :-) I have a feeling that you are having a boy, too. Just because you say that you are carrying very differently. We also did not tell anyone our name ideas because we didn't want other people to weigh in on our choice. Of course our family was not too happy about this.
And Heather, you look great! I look forward to meeting the little one, whether it be a boy or girl!
