33 Weeks...

I have been horrible about keeping this updated! We have just had so much going on its unreal! I can't believe we are already 33 weeks into this pregnanacy and closing in on the end! I will admit I am ready to meet her and ready to have my body back! I am uncomfortable about 90% of the time. I feel alot like I did the first trimester with an added watermelon in my belly! Im tired  all the time, making about 4 trips a night to the bathroom, a lot of trouble breathing, and swelling that makes me feel like I could explode. Not to mention the contractions that are not so fun! As much as I love the fact that I can keep her safe in there. I am ready to hold her in my arms! :)


We have got a lot accomplished over the last few weeks. Her nursery is pretty much completed. We have everything we need minus a few odd and end things. So hopefully all things will be finalized by the end of next week. I can't stand having loose ends. So I will be working hard to get things finished up.


We have started our every 2 week appointments so we will go again next Tuesday and then at 36 weeks which will then begin our every week appointments. So the countdown begins :)

My friend Casey who is a little ahead of me does this every week so I think I will have to steal this from her! Thanks Casey for the idea!! :) - ( Her Blog http://littlebabyouren.blogspot.com/ )

Now for a bumpdate:





How far along? 32 weeks 6 days..... 11 to go!!!!
Maternity clothes? I can only wear my maternity leggings.... thats it... and big t shirts
Stretch marks? a few :( but they haven't gotten any worse
Sleep: Not so good.. Even though I may be in bed 10 hours I toss and turn. I can't breathe when I lay flat so Im sleeping sitting up and as I mentioned before going to the bathroom quite frequently.
Best moment this week:  I have had a pretty easy week. Got to spend a good day cleaning and had a ladies night with my girls on Saturday and on Sunday we had our first thanksgiving meal with some of the N-Laws... We also finished all of our birthing classes this past week.
Miss anything? I'm still missing going to the gym..
Movement: All the time :) I can tell its starting to slow down some as she grows.. Its more pushing out than quick kicks. It even takes my breath away when she does it sometimes. 
Food cravings:  Coke with lemons and snickers
Food aversions: not really.. 
Gender: GIRL!!!!!!
Labor signs:  Contractions here and there. Had more the past couple days and called my doctor this afternoon about them. I should hear back from them soon.
Belly Button in or out? Still in 
Wedding rings on or off? Off.. 
Baby Purchases this weekNo purchases this week.. I think we have most everything we need now.
Looking forward to:  Thanksgiving this week.. The Iron Bowl this Saturday.. and Maternity pictures on Sunday and spending sometime with sweet friends!
