33 WEEKS!

How far along?: 33wks 1d- No picture today. My belly is the same as it was last week. Maybe a little more poked out but it is still big and round ;) I will be sure to take a nice picture next week. I am even thinking of bribing my sister in law to take a couple of nice shots for me. --Hint hint Bridget!--

Peanut will be full term in just 4 short weeks. Oh. My. Gosh.
I had Jace at 37w3d. I am hoping to make it to 38w4d with this one. No sooner. No later.
That is the day after Nylin’s recital. Even if I go into labor right afterwards I will be ok with that J

Total weight gain: 29 lbs YIKES!!!!! The doc only wanted me to gain 34 total so I only get 6 more lbs…. Although I hate that I am gaining a little more than planned I am not going to cry about it. This is my LAST pregnancy. This is the LAST time I get to eat whatever I want and not feel guilty about it. The rest of my life I will be watching what I eat. For the next 4-7 wks I am going to eat whatever the heck I want.

Peanut’s growth:
This week Paenut weighs a little over 4 pounds and has passed the 17-inch mark…think a pineapple. Peanut is rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and his/her skeleton is hardening.


Sleep: Nothing new here, trying to sleep sucks. I am tired about 98% of the time.

Best moment of the week: having my boys with me at my doctor appt today. I just loved looking into Jason’s eyes and holding Jace’s hand while we listened to little Peanut’s heartbeat. One word: Amazing.

Worst moment of the week: realizing that this pregnancy is the last for me. I have known the entire pregnancy but it kind of hit me this week. Some things about pregnancy REALLY suck but then there is the good. Oh the wonderful good. Feeling my Peanut move around inside my body, knowing that I am carting around a little tiny human, knowing that I am 100% responsible for the growth and health of this little human just makes me feel so good. And it is the last time I will feel this. Wah!

Movement: A LOT!!

Gender: Surprise

Food cravings: SnoCones. Weird huh?

Labor signs: I had a few REAL contractions this week. Nothing timeable but they hurt like hell so I am 99% sure they were real.

What I miss most: sleeping on my belly

What I'm looking forward to: The weekend- surprised? LOL My work is having an event at Forest Park that looks like a lot of fun for the whole family.
I am also going to Florida for work next week. I am excited on one hand because I know it will be nice to sleep without kids snoring in my ear BUT I am going to miss my family, a lot. I miss them already thinking about it. WAH WAH!

Next appointment: April 28th.
