Week 33

33 weeks and 3 days

How far along: 33 Weeks

Weeks to due date: 7

Total weight gain: 25 pounds

Maternity clothes: I am finding that some of my maternity shirts are getting a little tight around the belly.  Honestly…. I’m looking forward to regular clothes again…. At least the shirts =)     

Sleep:  Not so great… 

Best moment this week:  Andy and I pray together before we go to bed and a couple of nights ago I cuddled up really close so my belly was pressed against his side.  The baby kicked or kneed or elbowed us both the whole time we were praying.  It was great and Andy didn’t seem to mind too much! 

What I miss: Well… I’m feeling a little huge and insecure about how I look. I miss my old clothes and feeling good about how I look.  Some days are great though and I feel like I look great but other days I think I look like a hippo.  

Movement: So so so much! 

Food cravings: Nothing

Making me queasy:  Nothing in particular.  On Thursday Andy and I were watching a movie and all of a sudden I was hit with really bad back pain which then made it's way to my abdomen.  I stood up and walked around a little bit to see if that would make me feel better but then I started to feel nauseous.  I barely uttered the words I don't feel good to Andy when I "lost it" in the kitchen sink. Thank goodness for an empty sink and a garbage disposal... sorry if that was too graphic for anyone.  This was my third time "losing it" my whole pregnancy.  Also, thank goodness for a caring husband who isn't grossed out by my puking but who is impressed with my choice of where to puke and the fact that I remembered the garbage disposal.  Tis so sweet =)

Starting to show:  Oh yes, Santa has nothing on me =)  

Gender:  We will find out soon

Happy or moody: Oh pretty happy

Things I've been experiencing this week: I feel as though I have had a really productive week.  I’ve kept the house looking pretty good especially for having a remodeling project going on and I have spent some time in the kitchen baking zucchini bread, buns, and making frozen yogurt pops. Also, I have had lunch ready almost every day for Andy when he gets home which makes me feel so great! I Love being his wife and I am so thankful to share a home and a life with him.  I am looking forward to being parents together and to work as a team to raise this little one we created. =)   I also have been able to catch up on some motherly reading trying to learn about the final weeks of pregnancy, delivery, and baby.  So much to read and learn.  

Size of baby:  A durian fruit… anybody else know what that is?  I sure don’t =)
