How far along? 33 Weeks...and it just keeps getting closer...
How big is baby? According to thebump.com -- baby girl is the size of a durian. (WTF is that? It sounds like something from Back to the Future.) I'm really getting curious to see if this baby is gaining and getting large like Thaddeus did. We have another u/s at 36 weeks and I'm anxiously waiting. I feel like the belleh has just gotten huge so I'm hoping it's her (and not all me). ;)
Weight gain? 185 lbs. -- up 33.6 total. I'm not exactly thrilled with this number, but I went back and looked over my weight gain at this time with Thad and I think I'm just in for it. I gained a lot the last couple months with him as well. I know I've started retaining water like crazy so I'm hoping that is some of it. I really had hoped not to go over 35, but whatever, I guess I should realistically be looking at 40....oy. p.s. I don't love this phase...fat face, fat nose...yeah, not my favorite time of pregnancy.
Maternity clothes? Yes....and no. I'm still rocking one or two tshirts at night (and yes, they are pretty tight) and a pair here or there of sweats. This top isn't actually a maternity top, but I got it last time I was pregnant and it works well. Otherwise, yes. And I need new underwear I forget how your hips/butt widen out and well, the current undies aren't exactly comfortable.
Stretchmarks? Nothing new...yet. I told E I feel like they are about to start.
Sleep? I have total insomnia. I can't sleep at night. Literally, I'm crawling into bed at about 1:30 (if it's an early night) and then I'm up for an hour or so just trying to fall asleep and get comfortable. An hour later I'm up to pee. It's a vicious cycle I tell ya.
Best moment this week? Turning lemons into lemonade. With hub's car issues he's still here for another day so I'm soaking up the family of three time while I can. =)
Movement? Lots and lots, but it's sometimes painful. She especially hates if I try to lay on my right side to fall asleep. Literally, the amount of fighting she does to let me know is unreal. The rolls/punches/kicks/whatever they are, are just crazy.
Food cravings? Junk...still.
Water intake? I've been trying to get more in this week, but I'm still not doing great. =( Focus, Lib, focus.
Gender? Little miss.
Labor signs? Well...I actually think I may have gotten my first few BH the other night. I didn't get any with Thaddeus until I was 9 months along, but I'm guessing things just start a little earlier the second time around. It's crazy to think I could be having contractions (of any kind) at this point. I am not ready for this little girl to be here...she needs to stay put until Feb. 25 (yes, three days after my EDD)!
Belly button in or out? Flat, but turning out. I believe I will officially "pop" this time. (And it grosses me out! I can't stand touching it/feeling it/etc. I don't know why, but it's creeps me out big time!
What I miss? My skinny(er) face....not swelling...bending over....being able to wipe like a normal person. You know, the basics. ;)
What I am looking forward to? Nesting! Hehe...I have had some major urges to purge the last couple days. The only downside? A lot of our crap is in storage right now so I'll have to make due with purging clothes from my dresser...that sounds good, right? Oh and I ordered little miss's bedding last night! I can't wait to get that so I can start working on some crafts for her room (you know, the room we don't have right now and will hopefully have in TX...lol).
Weekly Wisdom? Look for the positive!

I feel like this is when pregnancy gets back to a harder phase. I retained so much water once I hit week 32 I thought my feet were going to pop before Jackson ever made his arrival! Hang in there, it's getting closer :)
ReplyDeleteYour pregnancy is flying by! At least for me, anyways ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely adorable! I'm sorry about the insomnia. :( Mine is starting up a bit and its miserable. I hope you can get some rest!
ReplyDeleteLibby, you're so pretty! I didn't retain any water at all (that I could tell)...but I guarantee you a TON of your weight is water weight, you look great! Try not to care about the number...I swear if I get pregnant again I'm not gong to care because it comes off and baby needs the weight!
ReplyDeleteI love reading these. It makes me feel better about things and that they are more normal. I am right there with u! Feeling huge these days. much harder to do things like putting on socks and bending over :) I have tons of BH contractions and have been having them for months now. Had a cervical check a couple weeks ago b/c of how many I am having and they aren't causing any change so that is good and reassuring. I officially have made it farther than with my son (went into labor at 32 weeks but he didn't arrive till 37 weeks... bed rest) I feel like this part of pregnancy is something I never experienced before b/c it is different when you are just laying in bed all day. The nesting has just started to kick in also. I suddenly feel like I have bursts of energy here and there :) Enjoy your extra time with hubs! Good luck hope she stays in till the 25th for u... I am hoping to keep little girl in till 37 weeks anything extra is just bonus but not sure how fond I am of the idea of going past my due date come the 22nd i hope she is out :)
