33-34 weeks!

How far long: 33 weeks!

Baby size:

Maternity clothes:  Yes most definitely.  

Sleep: I do get sleep but I wake up every couple of hours. I am tired in the afternoons and try to get a nap in when E is sleeping but sometimes that doesn't happen. 

Best moment of the week: We had a doctor appointment this week and everything looks great with him! He's doing well. I only have one more appointment every other week and then I go to every week. EEK! That means it's getting closer to meeting him. 

Movement: Oh yes and some of his movements especially when he pushes his head into my bladder/lower region. 

Food cravings:  I really haven't had any cravings lately. I think it's so funny to see the difference between pregnancies. With E, I was hungry every couple of hours and craved things a lot and with him, I have my normal meals and then maybe a snack sometime here and there but I never feel starving. Plus not a lot of cravings because I'm scared it's going to cause heartburn. 

What I miss: Nothing. 

What I'm looking forward to:  My baby shower next weekend!

Pregnancy Symptoms: I have swollen feet if I am up too much during the day and my fingers sometimes swell too. Heartburn is still there. It's getting harder to pick things up off the floor - haha! 

Stretch Marks: None

Belly button: In but flat. 

How far long: 34 weeks!

Baby size:

Maternity clothes:  Yes, I'm loving my dresses especially now that it's getting warmer outside.   

Sleep: The heartburn has been making it difficult to fall asleep at night. I drink milk right before bed to calm it down and then try to fall asleep quickly so I'm not uncomfortable. I still wake up every couple of hours to switch sides because of hip pain. 

Best moment of the week:  I had my baby shower this weekend! It was so great to have people come and celebrate this little blessing we are having. I had so much fun and so thankful for all of those that came. 

Movement: Most definitely. He moves all the time! 

Food cravings:  None really. I was really wanting strawberries this week but no store has had organic strawberries in stock! I was really sad. 

What I miss: Nothing. 

What I'm looking forward to:  Our doctor's appointment this coming week. 

Pregnancy Symptoms: Swollen feet and now my hands are staying more swollen during the day that even my replacement ring (since I can't wear my wedding rings) is starting to get hard to get on and off my finger. Heartburn is really bad. I almost threw up before bed the other night because it was so bad. 

Stretch Marks: None

Belly button: In but flat.

Weeks 31-32!

How far long: 31 weeks!

Baby size:

Maternity clothes: Oh yes. 

Sleep: This week was rough with sleep. I wake up every 2 hours or so because my hip that I am lying on is hurting so bad it wakes me up. So I have to switch sides and then 1-2 hours later I wake up again. 

Best moment of the week: I got my haircut this week and it was glorious. It feels good to not have so much of it since I'm starting to get hot more often. I also got to go to Canton with the old roommate from college and got some things for our little boy's room. I can't wait to hang them up. We had a doctor appointment this week as well and we got to see our little boy on the screen. He is above average for weight right now (I knew he felt big) but ultrasounds are always accurate so we will see when he gets here. 

Movement: All the time. This kid never stops moving. =) 

Food cravings: Honestly nothing. I'm just trying to think of things that won't cause heartburn. 

What I miss: I did miss better sleep this week. 

What I'm looking forward to:  We are having maternity pictures next Sunday and I'm really excited! 

Pregnancy Symptoms: Braxton hicks contractions are more frequent. I had to say goodbye to my wedding rings this week. =( They won't fit on my fingers anymore because of the swelling. This is definitely a  different symptom from my last pregnancy. Also my feet are noticeable swollen by the end of the day. Don't worry though my blood pressure looks fantastic.   

Stretch Marks: None

Belly button: In but very very flat. 

How far long: 32 weeks!

Baby size:

Maternity clothes: Yes. I bought two dresses this week, one for my maternity pictures and one just because it was cute. Hopefully they will be good transition dresses in the summer during nursing time as well. 

Sleep: I'm still waking up every couple of hours because of my aching hips. 

Best moment of the week: We had our maternity pictures this week! I'm so excited to see them. 

Movement: Always. E was actually resting her head on my tummy one day talking to him and he kicked her right on the face. She popped right up and looked at my stomach because she was so surprised. Haha. She thought it was great though and has put her head on my tummy several times since then just to see if he will get her again. 

Food cravings: Chips and salsa and avocados

What I miss: Nothing

What I'm looking forward to:  We have another appointment next week! 

Pregnancy Symptoms: Oh the heartburn. It gets really bad at night. I even had to make shift some pillows underneath my snoogle one time this week to be elevated to sleep because I was so miserable. I refuse to take medicine just because I'd rather just suffer than put something in my body so I drink milk which helps settle it for a bit. Swelling still in my hands and feet as well.  

Stretch Marks: None

Belly button: In but flat. The other day E saw me changing and saw my belly button and freaked out. She kept looking at it saying oh no what's wrong? Haha.
