Week 33 - getting closer and daddy is getting nervous!

A change of backgrounds. We are currently in the process of moving houses and living in a temporary apartment at the lake camp while the house we will be living in is vacated. We will be moving into a fellow missionaries house while they are on itineration but they don't leave for another 2 weeks and we had to leave our apartment because the contract was up. That's why I haven't been Johnny on the spot with the posts. We don't have internet currently so I can't really upload pictures and such if I don't have internet.

Anyway, enough excuses. Kai is now 33 weeks old and getting bigger by the day. I'm now at the point of pulling my hair out and stressing occasionally. Every time I leave the house without Lisa, I always make sure that my phone is on me and that I know the quickest route back home and to the hospital. This whole waiting and not knowing the day or the hour thing drives me crazy. Maybe pregnancy is a good illustration for the Rapture...no man knows the day or the hour, but the Father knows. Cheesy pastor-type comment number 1.

The baby now weighs 4 pounds, about the weight of a pineapple, and he is over 17 inches long. These are all the estimates given by baby center, not the exact ones for Kai. His skeleton is starting to harden more and more, although I'm convinced that all children are made of rubber until they are 2 years old. His skin is also smoothing out as he gains weight and fattens up for life on the outside of the fishbowl. His bones won't fuse together until much later. He needs this rubbery quality to exit the birth canal. I actually think that the real "miracle" of birth is the actual exodus from the womb. How does a baby that big fit through an opening that small? Wow!

Anyway, all our preparations for the baby are on hold as we wait to be able to move into our house. All our stuff is crammed into one room at their house until we move in. We are just praying that he doesn't come right now, at least until we can get in, unpack, build the crib, and paint the nursery. Then he is welcome to come!
