33 Weeks


How far along? 33 weeks
How big is the peanut? Honeydew melon
Total weight gain/loss? Hit the 40lb mark today, whatever
Maternity clothes? Yep
Sleep? Start getting up 3 times this past week to use the bathroom, I guess the days of getting up once are over
Best moment this week? Getting our baby camera and testing it out
Symptoms? I guess I'm now a snorer. I hope this goes away along with the carpel tunnel and monster heartburn after she's born
Food cravings? Nothing specific, still wanting water all the time
Food aversions? Nothing, hence the weight gain
Gender? Baby girl!
Labor signs? Nope, just braxton hicks
Belly button in or out? Out, way out
Stretch Marks? Not yet, but they have to be coming
Movement? Lots and lots and lots. I'm really hoping she's in the process of flipping! Some of these movements are down right painful!
Wedding rings on or off? Off for good now :-(
What I miss? Being able to do things like I use to. Yesterday I had to do laundry and go shopping. By the time we got to Target, I was exhausted. Then we wanted to put together my new desk for my office and I was just so tired, my back hurt, and the BH contractions were out of control. 
What I'm looking forward to? My baby shower is this Sunday! We also start baby classes on Saturday. Not looking forward to 6 hours but it's only 2 weekends
Milestones? 
Bump? Of course!











I've been trying to take bare belly pics in bed every week to see how it's growing from the front. Here's 12 weeks & 33 weeks

Sleep? Pretty good but still getting exhausted by later afternoon and lay down for an hour after work 
Best moment this week? Not that it felt the best, but she was moving a lot and the movements where on each side, so maybe she's flipping

What I'm looking forward to? W have an appointment on Tuesday, nothing exciting, just a checkup. My shower is in 2 weeks!

30 Weeks ~ 3/4 done!


How far along? 30 weeks
How big is the peanut? Length of a cucumber
Total weight gain/loss? Still +35lbs. No weight gain the last 2 weeks
Maternity clothes? Yep
Sleep? Not bad, I really need to stay on my right side so I get rid of the bruising in my bikini area. I'm waking up some nights with horrible wrist pain, which I found out is carpal tunnel, fun!
Best moment this week? We went to a fall festival in the far west burbs, I love this festival and we found some great homemade baby stuff, fantastic honey, and apple butter
Symptoms? Just the bruising in the bikini area and on my right leg. Having a very hard time tying my shoes. Oh, and the carpal tunnel. 
Food cravings? Nothing really. I'm hungrier this week, so I'm sure there will be weight gain next week. 
Food aversions? Nope
Gender? Baby girl!
Labor signs? Nope, just braxton hicks
Belly button in or out? Top half out, bottom half flat
Movement? Lots! She has the hiccups all the time and she's moving from one side to the other
Wedding rings on or off? During the week I wear my grandma's ring, sometimes I can get my rings on if I run my hands under cold water
What I miss? Being able to walk without waddling, walking up stairs without being short of breath, being able to bend over to do anything. 
What I'm looking forward to? We have an ultrasound tomorrow, a doctors appointment with a new OB (starting to make the rounds so I meet as many doctors as possible) and we interview our first pediatrician tomorrow. Big day!
Milestones? Only 10 weeks left!
