33 Weeks

Week 33

2-17-12

Size of the baby: a pineapple (19-22 inches, 4.9 pounds)

Total Weight Gain/Loss: + 9 -- yeah I lost two pounds. : ( 

Maternity Clothes: yeah- but because I am so big I have started to try and look cute again. For awhile, I either felt terrible or felt like I looked fat that I hated clothes in general. Now I am obviously pregnant, I want to look cute again. Plus, my face is getting larger along with being super pale I have to draw attention to my basketball and away from my growing pale face. : ) 

Gender: my second knight in shining armor

Movement: all over the place. We took a video of him moving around- its so creepy to watch. He is starting to be painful with his kicks- like Monday he was kicking some organ that everytime he kicked it I would say out loud OUCH! wihtout even realizing it. I also wish he would get his feet out from under my ribs. It is gonna feel so weird when I don't have feet shoved up under there. 

Sleep: pretty good this week--- not too terrible. I have been so exhausted that the second my head hits the pillow I'm out. The only thing is getting up to pee so often & my terrible heartburn. 

What I miss: being able to bend over without being in pain, sleeping soundly, not peeing all the time, my cute clothes

Cravings: trying to resist the urge for ice. ice cream-like "scoops" of ice cream from a shop

Symptoms: no memory whatsoever- its true what they say about the baby taking your brain over. I can't remember what I was going to do the second after thinking about it. backache- hurts really bad along the left side of my spine. heartburn- still bad but now with my iron pills I can only take TUMS 1 hour before taking iron and 2 hours after so I have to plan carefully. s....l....o....w.....I don't get anywhere very quick these days. 

Big News this week:

* Baby shower in Kingwood, hosted by all my old teachers & my mom's friends was Saturday 2/18/12. It was so nice & again we feel so blessed & loved.

* Justin got chosen for jury duty. Boo

* Doctors appointment on Tuesday afternoon- I have lost two pounds. Said I need to eat more small meals and get more rest/sleep. Got me a nexium rx for my heartburn. Said I was measuring small this week but his little heartbeat sounded perfect.

* Pain Management class on Tuesday night- terrible. I cried the whole way home. They tell you everything that can go wrong. Yeah yeah I know its like 1% of people but knowing me and my record with hospitals it freaks me out big time. I am sure I will be fine but ever since Tuesday my anxiety has kicked in HIGH GEAR!! Granted I know he has to come out so its gonna happen one way or the other but still freaks me out.

Here is Week 33:
