33 Weeks



How far along? 33 weeks
Baby is the size of a: Durian Fruit (what?? This app I have is so strange).
Total weight gain: around 20 pounds so far...
Maternity clothes? Omg yes, though I wore a non materninty dress the other day but it looked more like a long shirt with leggings underneath ;)
Stretch marks? Not that I've seen so far. Fingers crossed!
Sleep: Yes please! Sleep is hit or miss for me these days. Usually after a night of work I sleep great... On my nights off, not so much. I'm up to use the restroom like every 2-3 hours, my hips are achy, and baby girl is pushing up on my lungs so it's harder and harder to breath!
Exercise: I walk to the mailbox sometimes. Does that count? Oh and up and down the stairs at work (usually... I've been taking the elevator sometimes too). I did get my exercise ball all blown up and ready to use more often though so there's that.
Miss Anything: Now this is a loaded question! I guess the obvious would be wine... And being able to put my shoes on!
Movement: I'm still feeling her move a lot but it's different - it's bigger movements instead of just little kicks and flutters. She's just running outta room in there!
Food cravings: Nothing too specific... But my sweet tooth is pretty out of control lately :) cookies and cake and muffins are always on my mind haha.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Jeremy and I both unfortunately got really bad colds this last week... They both only lasted a few nights and we both were lucky enough to have or get the nights off from work. Mine has stuck around in the form of wheezy-ness and a cough but I think that it's partially having to do with baby girl taking up so much space and pressing on my lungs! 
Labor Signs: Not yet! Maybe feeling some practice contractions (Braxton hicks).
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! But I do get a bit whiney at times just because I'm uncomfortable but I try to keep that to myself (or just complain to Jeremy!).
Looking forward to: Meeting baby girl! But before that seeing all my family and friends at the various baby showers I have coming up- I'm feeling so blessed already by all of the love and support!

32 Weeks

2 months//8 weeks to go... Wow! The mix of emotions I'm feeling about this is pretty crazy. Overall I'm very excited though because honestly, I am getting quite large and uncomfortable! My sciatic pain has been almost non-existent lately so that has been great, but my belly is growing and stretching so much it gets achy - and probably because baby girl is moving around SO much. Here are a couple belly pics for this week....

 

 

I posted that second picture not so you could see my messy slippers on, but because do Cutter. He seriously is at my side ALL the time now! I had previously been saying that I didn't think he knew anything was up but the past week or so he has been much more protective! If I'm in the shower he is laying on the bathmat, if I'm on the computer he's on my feet, eating dinner at the table - he's underneath on top of my feet there too! Yes this all sounds like normal dog behavior, but Cutter is usually always at Jeremy's side so that's where things have changed! Kinda cute, kinda annoying ;)

24.5 weeks!

Passed the viability mark and cruising right along! I'm getting bigger and bigger these days, which I suppose is normal but honestly - just so strange... My belly button has definitely flattened out, but not popped, yet. It's close. Jeremy finds this pretty amusing! I can't imagine just how big this belly will stretch.

So far I've been feeling ok- getting over a cold, and now thanks to having a new furnace placed, getting over some massive allergy/asthma attacks (we had to use our wood stove to heat the house for about a week). I'm still coughing at times but it's much better overall. I see the doctor next week, and yes I will tell her all about it.

Baby girl seems to be doing well - she's kicking and moving all the time! It's pretty much the coolest feeling and really makes you feel pretty amazing knowing you're actually growing a baby in there! I'd heard it was the best feeling, but it really is special. Jeremy has even felt a few kicks now, so fun!

16 Weeks

Not exactly the best picture of me. When does the pregnancy "glow" start because I definitely do NOT have it yet!
