We're officially 33 weeks pregnant as of this weekend, and the time is just flying. To celebrate your 33rd week of development, we really kicked the shopping into high gear. This weekend we went to:
- 2 different Babies 'R' Us Locations
- The same Super Target twice (on two separate days (both for baby related returns/purchases))
- A NEW Buy Buy Baby location
I know, I know. It sounds riveting, and all this baby shopping sounds like it would be enough to castrate the most testosterone-filled manly man. You might even think that a man would have to be nuts to withstand this amount of baby shopping and perusing and returning and coupon clipping. But, despite the hives that I still get in Babies R Us (now proven to be hive-worthy in
multiple locations!), it's always a great adventure going baby shopping with your mom. And, after all, you're
my baby too! So, heck yeah, you'll find me in Buy Buy Baby or the baby aisle in Target without batting an eyelash. But, seriously, Babies R Us- even though I like your coupons (which I then use at Buy Buy Baby) and your clearance items- your stores are probably very close to what H-E-double hockey sticks might be like. So, no, you don't have to be nuts to go baby shopping- in fact, I kind of like it. Plus, then I can talk about the nipples and breast pump adapters we got and freak out our less baby-ready friends and family.
Speaking of going nuts, though, in week 33-34 of your development, your testicles are making their way down from your abdomen to their final destination: your scrotum. I had mine in my abdomen once; but Six Flags closed that roller coaster down after several complaints.
But seriously, though, I think a Mazel Tov is in order! Not only are your testicles descending faster than the ball in Times Square on New Years Eve (yes, I'm questioning if this simile is appropriate for you to read), but you are also growing very quickly too. From here on out, you will be gaining about a half a pound a week! Compared to the fact that your Mom is gaining 1 pound a week, your growth is no small peanuts!
And, considering that your Mimi and Pops are taking your Mother and Me to Texas de Brazil (all you can eat meat!) tonight, I may gain a half a pound or more too! Clearly the nut doesn't fall too far from the tree!

ReplyDeleteOh Aaron, this had me laughing so hard! You are such a talented writer! Have fun in the last few weeks, and be good to your wife! She's going to be getting more and more uncomfortable :( Tell her I can sympathize if she needs someone to talk to! Also, I love freaking our friends out with discussions about poop, breast pumps and more...you already have a key element of parenting down...make others cringe :)
ReplyDeleteThanks guys! I LOVE making them cringe. I brought episiotomies over dinner just to make 'em squirm :) Maybe I'll be a good parent after all! And thanks for the offer of sympathy and advice :)
