33 weeks


How far along?: 33 weeks! 
How big is baby? Over 4 pounds and 17 inches long! Crazy!
Weight gain/loss?: I will know more at my appointment tomorrow! So far, up 4. 
Stretch marks?I should change this to say, besides the few that Brayden left, none. 
Maternity clothes?Yes, please. Actually, I boxed up most of the maternity clothes that I borrowed from a friend because the tops were becoming too short. YIKES. I have a few longer shirts left but that is about it. 
Sleep?What is that? Sleep has been awful lately. I have been waking up in the night because of my legs, and the Tylenol PM just isn't cutting it. I am going to ask my doctor tomorrow about increasing the dose a little bit on the restless leg medicine since I am on the absolute lowest dose right now. I just can't get comfortable. 
Food cravings?: Ice water. I have had to remember to quit drinking around 7:30-8pm otherwise I end up in the bathroom multiple times at night! 
Gender?We are having a girl! 
Movement?: Yes! All. the. time. Baby girl is a mover and a shaker. Last night, Brandon couldn't believe the movements he was seeing! 
Belly button?I officially have an outie. My hubs thinks its gross. I don't want to talk about it. :)
What are you looking forward to this week?: My appointment tomorrow, birthday shopping for the hubby, crossing things off of our list...

Baby girl is losing her alien look and her skull is starting to harden. She is about the size of a pineapple, which I totally believe given the way that I am looking these days. If I sit for a long period of time and then get up, I totally look like I am waddling- yikes. I try to limit that look! I am still having quite a bit of ligament pain/hip pain but it comes and goes. It is the worst in the evenings, so I have still been taking nightly bubble baths to help relax. It's kind of nice! 

Her room is ALMOST done, Brayden's room is almost done, and we are working towards getting the front porch trim finished as well. The hubs has quite the list, so we are just working at it as we can. His goal is to have the trim done in the front porch before she comes so we can hang the blinds in there. 

I am ready to pack the diaper bag- it is taking all of my self-control NOT to pack it right now! But I know there is really no point in doing it just yet. 6 weeks to go!

I'm ready to pack a hospital bag, too...and I'm not even having a hospital birth! LOL Hubby keeps making fun of me for it, but I can't help myself!

(For the record, we *will* pack bags, "just in case," but it's just funny that I feel the need to do it RIGHTNOW).
