Baby P {33 Weeks}

how far along?  33 weeks

how are you measuring?  She didn't say anything after she did the measurements this week and I forgot to ask.

size of baby? Baby is around 16.7 inches long, about 3.75 pounds, and the weight of a larger jicama. 

heartbeat? 150 bpm

total weight gain/loss? +22lbs

maternity clothes? oh yes, pretty much living in dresses and skirts with elastic waist bands!

stretch marks? I don't think so.   
sleep? I've been sleeping so great this week, probably the best sleep I've had since before before being pregnant!

best moment this week? Getting another good report at the Dr. on wednesday, and getting the whole kitchen organized to make room for all of baby's bottles and such :)

movement? It is so crazy, I will just sit there and watch my belly move in all directions.  I got a good video of it on my phone this week.

food cravings? powdered sugar donuts, chocolate pudding, and icees... so pretty much anything healthy :)  I tried to tell Trevor it was his right of passage as a father to run to the grocery store late at night and pick up my cravings so I could eat them.  He didn't buy it :(

gender predictions? I had a vivid girl dream this week and then Bethany (Trevor's sister) texted me the same morning and said she had a girl dream! In Bethany's dream we named her Hope and in mine we named her Claire.

what i miss:  being mobile! I watched a lady with a broken foot drive one of those motorized carts at the grocery store today and told Trevor that I might have to break down soon and use one of those :)  Its a chore to stand from a sitting position, pick something off the floor, put pants on, etc.

what i'm looking forward to: Tuesday is the tax deadline! We are celebrating by spending the second half of the week with some friends in Port A and then going to Kerrville for the weekend for a baby shower! Lots to look forward to this week! (Not looking forward to sporting the beached whale look at the beach though :))

how are you feeling? Pretty good for the most part! Rib/back pain, heartburn, achy feet at the end of the day, and a little bit of a waddle, but nothing too unmanageable! I told Trevor this week that I have mixed feelings about being towards the end of this pregnancy.  Part of me wants to freeze time and be pregnant longer because I love feeling the baby moving around all day and not feeling as self-conscience about my body b/c I'm supposed to be big :)  But I also can't wait to meet our baby and hold him/her in my arms!

Trevor quote of the week: I have a folder in Lightroom (the program I use to upload my pictures) that I keep all the weekly belly shots in.  After I added this week's picture to it I called Trevor in and told him to watch my belly grow as i scrolled through all the pictures week 10- week 33 really fast.  Its looks like watching a flip book.  I went through them a few times going small to big and then the other way around.  Then Trevor said, "Do it again and watch how your face grows too!"  Gee thanks, Babe.
