Week 33
Size: a pineapple
Total Weight Gain/Loss: +31
Maternity Clothes: Maternity pants, regular tops and maternity tops.
Stretch Marks: None… Lathering up with lotion.
Gender: GIRL!!
Movement: Lots. I still feel her kicks but now it’s more of big movements.
Sleep: Still not great. I’m back and forth between the couch and bed. I’m up two to three times to use the restroom. The positive thing is now that I’m not working, I can catch up with naps during the day.
Cravings: Ice Cream
Aversions: None.
Symptoms: Nausea, back pain, swelling. I was also diagnosed with carpal tunnel this week, which was the reason for all the hand/wrist/arm pain I’ve experienced the past week. I have to wear a wrist brace at all times, which is a pain but has helped.
Labor Signs: None. Keep cooking baby girl!
What I Miss: Summer Cocktails
What I’m Looking Forward To: Our final ultrasound next week and weekly appointments from there on out.
Best Moment This Week: Organizing all of her gifts and clothes. Making final lists of things I want to get done and having some lazy time at home this weekend with husband.
Thoughts: Physically, the pregnancy is taking a toll on me. I’m still stretching daily and going for walks or to the gym. But, it’s tough to do the things that used to be simple. Getting up and down, in and out of the car, taking the dogs leashes off, etc. I wouldn’t trade it for the world, I’m just having to adjust my expectations of things I want to get done each day.
You look adorable… so sorry about the annoying potty breaks and the painful wrists, etc. You're in the home stretch!!
I agree with Tracy! You are doing great!! Almost there!!
I think you are doing great! I know it is totally uncomfortable…but you can do it!
I feel you – the day to day tasks are so uncomfortable lately. I can't even wear my shorts anymore… I've outgrown my maternity clothes. Boo. You're more active than I am, I wish I had energy or motivation to walk/stretch!
In and out of the car….worst part of my day, I had no idea it could be so difficult =)
You look great! Almost there!
Ohh you are looking perfect!
I love your basketball belly!
Hang in there mama! You'll meet your baby girl in a little while! 🙂
