It's official... We're having a baby NEXT MONTH! In only FOUR weeks, I'll be full term... which means Zoey will be making her grand entrance very soon!! It just got real. :)
How far along? 33 weeks
Baby is the size of a: Pineapple... 17 inches long and over 4 pounds!
Total weight gain: 20-ish
Maternity clothes? Yes, but to be honest, even those are starting to get uncomfortable! I'm wearing yoga pants to work from now on :(
Stretch marks? I've got a new one this week as well... on the part of my belly button that was pierced! Weird.
Sleep: Getting worse... I'm having a hard time getting comfortable now, and I wake up at least twice every night with numb arms and hands. Not to mention the bathroom trips....
Best moment this week? Well... I went into the guest bathroom (the one that will be Zoey's bathroom), and I found a loose corner in the wall paper that needs to come down so I can paint.
I think I won the battle. :)
Miss anything? Bending over, doing anything without getting exhausted, climbing the stairs without feeling like I ran a marathon, being on my feet for more than an hour without feeling like they'll bust from the fluid retention.... I can keep going if you'd like!
Movement: Lots! She squirms around a lot, I guess because she's running out of room.
Cravings? Nothing weird this week.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!
Labor signs: Having more and more braxton hicks contractions, but nothing painful.
Symptoms: Still the swollen hands and feet, and heartburn has been rearing it's ugly head. Tums are my friend!
Belly Button in or out? Out!
Wedding rings on or off? Off. :(
Happy or moody most of the time? Starting to get kind of miserable... I think that's probably got a lot to do with the horrible heat we've had for the last week. The highs have been up toward the 110s, and it doesn't look like we're getting any rain any time soon. (20% chance 5 days next week, but that basically means "wishful thinking".)
Looking forward to: I have 6 days off after the 4th of July, so I'm excited to take those days to rest, go swimming, and paint/decorate Zoey's bathroom. My shower is in 2 weeks and I'm really looking forward to that as well, along with my last day of work in 18 days! I'm ready to rest and finish getting everything together for Zoey!
Your pictures always make me miss being pregnant, but your words just reminded me of how hard those last few weeks were. AND I can't imagine doing it in this heat! GOOD LUCK only a few more weeks until your precious one is here.
ReplyDeleteGirl this heat is killer!! We've been over 100 for a week... I can't wait for RAIN!!! And your pictures make me yearn to have my little girl here... so we're even!! :)
