33 Weeks

How far along? 33 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: + 15lbs from pre-pregnancy

Maternity clothes? Yes

Stretch marks? Yes

Sleep: A distant memory & it doesn't look like it's going to be getting better any time soon

Best moment this week: When Greg said, "Honey, do you think next weekend we should go pick up the baby swing & stuff. Because, you know that next week you are going to be 34 weeks." Haha! Yes, dear. I'm aware of this!

Worst moment this week: This week has been kinda rough :( The house was shown but the potential buyers didn't like our yard (which is weird because I happen to think we have one of the best yards in the neighborhood) or the fact that it is so close to the waste treatment facility (at the very end of the street). Also, I'm sick (thank you, Brock) and just feeling overwhelmed about all the things we have to get done before Baby G makes her debut

Movement: Lots & lots & lots. Especially when I'm trying to sleep!

Food cravings: Strawberries! Which is perfect because we just found out this weekend that the farmer's market that sells them at the end of our street is now open (Mom, I thought you might like to know that!)

Gender: Still a girl as far as we know

Labor Signs: Other than her little temper tantrum last Sunday night, none this week!

Belly Button in or out? Barely allowed to be called a belly button anymore. Looks more like a weird fleshy patch. I showed Greg tonight and he said, "Uh, it's been like that for awhile babe." Well, I can't see it! But in all fairness, I don't want him pointing out to me all of the weirdness that my body is going through. Ignorance is bliss.

What I miss: My husband being able to be around for all the fun stuff.

What I am looking forward to: Finding out the results of Brock's blood test from a couple of weeks ago & getting all of the baby stuff in the house so if baby G decides to come a little early we are somewhat more prepared.

Weekly Wisdom: There is a reason behind everything in nature
Milestones: Finally choosing a breast pump & deciding to register at Target for a completion coupon so that we can get an additional 10% anything we purchase off the registry. Now I just have to wait for some money!

Technical baby news: Baby’s senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through your (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, baby can now recognize and react to simple songs… time to start practicing your lullabies! Growth (at least inside your womb) is starting to slow, and you may notice baby descend into your pelvis at the end of this month. 17.2-18.7 inches, 4.2-5.8 lbs. Baby G is the size of a honeydew this month!
