Week 33-Baby #2

How far along? 33 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 22 lbs. according to home scale.

Maternity clothes? Yes, but even those are feeling uncomfortable.

Stretch marks? No-Thank goodness and applying lotion like it is going out of style.

Sleep: I wish I could say this is going to get better, but I know I am only going to get bigger. My hips have started to hurt when I wake up on my side. Baby girl loves to stick arms and legs out randomly and they hurt!

Best moment this week: Getting the room painted. I know this is small in the grand scheme of things, but her room is coming together! I cannot wait to get her bedding and get her trim painted pink. Everything else is ready. She could sleep in the room if she was born today, but I am sure she will spend 6-8 weeks in our room like her brother.

Miss Anything? I miss really playing with Mason. He is an active toddler and it is getting so hard to really play with him the way he wants me to. I am hoping he doesn’t get into the routine of me not doing as much before I can move normally again and pick him up!

Movement: This girl is a little rough on my insides. She goes crazy for OJ though.

Food cravings: Food cravings are going away. I am not as hungry. During the day I could eat cheese and crackers or a bowl of cereal for a meal. I am just not hungry.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing new this week.

Feelings: I am starting to retain fluid again…BOO. My lower legs are swelling and my blood pressure, even though still normal, has started to rise. I am hoping it is just 3rd trimester stuff and not a redo of the end with Mason. The good thing this time is I know what to expect.

Gender: GIRL! Sweet Addison Monroe.

Belly Button in or out? In. But starting to look odd. My dark line has started to appear. A little later than with Mason, but it is coming in.

Wedding rings on or off? On.

Looking forward to: My doctor’s appointment this week! I want to hear my baby’s heartbeat. It is actually going to be a hard week. I have a lot going on with work and a funeral to go to, so it is just going to be a long week.

Due Date: We are scheduled for April 22nd for my c-section, so unless baby girl has another idea, she will arrive April 22nd or before.
