33 Weeks!!!

It's been kind of crazy to think about the fact that this is when my nephew Dusty was born. I can't even imagine going into labor right now. I haven't even packed my hospital bag yet! I had probably better do that sooner rather than later just to be safe...Only 7 weeks left max!

Excuse my scrounginess in this picture. I kept forgetting to take one when I looked really cute so I just finally had to take one regardless of what I was wearing. 


How far along? 33 weeks 0 days!
Total weight gain/loss: I am still up a grand total of 3 pounds I think. It may be a little more but not more than 5.
Maternity clothes? I'm really grateful that it doesn't seem like my hips have grown too much yet and I can still wear my regular pants with a belly band, but my maternity pants are so much more comfortable. 

Stretch marks? sadly yes.
Sleep: On and off. Some nights I get a solid 7 hours before I even wake up to go to the bathroom and some nights I'm awake so much that by 5 am I'm ready to just get out of bed because I'm tired of even trying to sleep. Having a body pillow has helped a lot though so I definitely sleep more comfortably. 

Best moment this week: Getting our diaper bag, seeing my sister, and hearing that everything is still looking perfect with the pregnancy and baby and that she is already head down as well. Also putting up our christmas decorations. I usually am a firm believer in waiting until after thanksgiving to do that but this year thanksgiving is so late! We bought a wreath for the door and everything and I got almost all of our presents wrapped. Love it. It's hard to believe that next year for Christmas we will have almost a one year old.
Miss anything? I feel like my stomach is so heavy and putting so much pressure on my hips all the time. I miss that not being here. I miss not having to go to the bathroom so much too. 

Movement: Just as much as always. She doesn't kick anymore really, just pushes against things really hard. I think she probably is running out of room to kick really hard. 
Food cravings: In and Out burger. 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope. 
Have you started to show yet: People have started to comment this week on my belly. It's definitely getting bigger and bigger every day. 
Gender: GIRL!!! 

Labor signs: no, not even any braxton hicks yet. Which I guess is good? who knows. 
Bell button in or out? in, and it had better stay that way! I dislike outie belly buttons and do not want one. 
Wedding rings on or off? Sadly off.  
Happy or moody most of the time: It just depends on the day I think. I have been more tired this week and that makes me more moody in general than anything else. But I think my hormones must have shifted somehow because my skin cleared up beautifully and I have the least amount of zits I have had since I got pregnant. Definitely not complaining about that. 
Looking forward to: Tomorrow we are going down to Cedar to spend the weekend down there for thanksgiving. I'm so excited to get to see family and eat good food. 



Baby is the size of a durian!
She weighs about 4.2 to 5.8 lbs and measures bout 17.2 to 18.8 in. and she may grow up to full inch this week--amazing!
She's keeping her eyes open while awake.
She's also starting to coordinate breathing with sucking and swallowing.
Her bones are hardening.
She is going through (more) major brain development--that's one smart baby!
