33 Weeks

Pumpkin this week...

~ He is keeping his eyes open when he is awake.
~ He has started to coordinate breathing with sucking and swallowing.
~His bones are hardening.

Size of the Baby?

Size of a durian!  Now can someone please tell me what that is?!

Total Weight Gain/Loss?

+2 lbs per my scale BUT the doctor said I've only gained 1 lb in the last two weeks!  I knew I liked my doctor!  :)

Maternity Clothes?

Well here is another fun story... so last week I told you about my maternity dress issue... and how Ryan saved the day to order me a new dress.  Well the new dress came on Friday.  I was all excited but knew I needed Ryan's help to zip it up.  So as soon as he got home, I put on the dress and was so excited to see it all zipped up.  FAIL.  The dress didn't fit.  Begin the mini-meltdown.  I was so disappointed that the new (medium) didn't fit!  There was no way in 4 days I grew 4 inches.  And to be honest the new dress felt tighter than the smaller one.  Ryan also thought the dress seemed wrong.  To be totally honest, (I'm not sure trying to make myself feel better here) I think the dress was mislabeled.  But I called the customer service and they could not send me a large (UGH!) as it was on back order.  And well I need this dress for tomorrow's shower!  So I threw the new dress back in the return bag and started searching the internet for a replacement dress.  Insert tears and frustration.  Ryan assured me that I didn't grow that much and that I could go shopping and find a new dress.  I ended up shopping with Trisha before we met our husbands for dinner that night.  I found 2 maternity dresses plus one really cute dress from Hot Mama that worked!  So in the end I returned one dress, bought three new ones and can't wait to show them all off!  :)

Stretch Marks?

Nope, not one.  Knock on wood.

Best Moments?

The BaByQ!  See my recap post here for the details!

Movement?
Lots of it!  It's not as many kicks and jabs as it is rolls and slides now.  But every once in a while, my belly dances and I love it!

Nausea/Vomitting?

No nausea but still losing my breath once in a while.  Sunday was bad before the BaByQ.  Let's just paint this picture... couldn't breathe, laying on the kitchen floor on my side, crying.  Dupree licking my face and Ryan felt helpless.  Awesome.

Labor Signs?

Nope.

Gender?

BOY!

Belly Button In or Out?
I'm calling it an innie because more of it is in than out!

Wedding Rings On or Off?

On and thinking I can make it thru this pregnancy with them on the whole time!

Sleep?

I think I have pregnancy insomnia.  I can't stay asleep to save my soul and when I wake up, it's hard work to get back to sleep.

Wisdom?

Now that I am done coaching, I have more time on my hands to think about baby and do projects and nest.  As fun as it is, I am really really thankful that I was coaching for most of my pregnancy.  It kept me busy and preoccupied.  Now, when I'm home I feel pressure to do things around the house.  Then again I am 7 weeks away from baby's arrival so it may be time to get my rear in gear too!

What am I most excited about?

The baby shower tomorrow!  My sister and sister-in-law are hosting a shower with a lot of my family and girlfriends!  I am so excited to celebrate the little guy with some of the favorite women in my life!  I can't wait to see everyone and see all the details Allison and Stephanie have been working on!  I'm incredibly blessed!

Sort of fun to look back at the last 20 weeks and to see the bump grow... 13, 23, and 33 weeks!
