33 Weeks

Wow... Sorry for the lack of updates, it has been a busy past month!    I am not even including the most updated belly pic (sorry Auntie Marie) well... because it looked awful hah... My hubby took one today in front of our tree and I look so sleepy! I am pretty sure I am retaining water not just in my now very large ankles and once tiny hands and fingers but now maybe in my face too.  We'll try again on a well rested day.. maybe this weekend :-) haha

My church family in Knoxville, where I grew up, threw me a baby shower a few weeks ago that was wonderful.  

Jake and Bucky dropped me off the morning of the shower
  Aren't they both just the cutest? ;-)

My mother-in-law Jill hosted Thanksgiving at her house this year and invited my family over as well.  Oh my goodness it was delicious.. I'm glad I wasn't as far along at Thanksgiving as I am now.  Baby Girl is squishing my stomach and there is no way I could have eaten all the tastiness that was there otherwise :-)  No longer am I able to out eat Jake.


Bucky wasn't being very cooperative during picture taking.

And onto the questions...


How far along? 33 weeks 4 days :-)

Total weight gain/loss: I think I'm pushing close to thirty pounds, my ankles can sure tell the difference all of a sudden!

Maternity clothes? Maybe the best question is can I wear anything BUT maternity clothes?  Well.. not really :-)  A few T-shirts . and my mom laughs every time I wear my under armor hoodie because the front is a little "short"


Stretch marks? Nope! I'm telling you.. that gallon of water a day is good for something!

Sleep: Sleeping okay... still wake up 2-3 times a night for potty breaks, but my pregnancy pillow sure helps a lot in keeping my comfy most of the night.  Just a slight backache when I first wake up but it goes away once I get up and move around.

Best moment this week: Nothing too exciting this week... But two weeks ago our little Johannah had hiccups for the first time.  Or at least it was the first time I could tell that was what they were :-)

Miss Anything? Not really.. I've been able to have some orange juice or decaf coffee every once in a while as long as I am good about not eating a lot of sugar or acid foods at other times.  My heart burn has been surprisingly more controlled the past few weeks.  I have reflux anyway.. but the time when most people have it the worst mine is the best :-)  Maybe I've finally just got down what to eat and not to eat to not aggravate it.

Movement: Tons!  She also seems to like to snuggle under my right rib cage, silly girl.

Food cravings: I don't think I've had anything too new lately that I've been craving. But....I did have some baked apples at lunch today and I am pretty sure I am going to need to start making a lot of those... they were DELICIOUS :-) 

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Same as always... just have to be careful having anything very acidic like orange juice (which I love!), chocolate, or coffee (even my decaf).

Have you started to show yet: I've had two people tell me I didn't look like I was big enough to be 33 weeks recently.  I think they must've just been being nice to me because my brothers say I look like I swallowed their soccer ball.

Gender: Baby Girl 

Size of baby: Pineapple (doesn't that sound delicious!)... averages a little over 17 inches in length

Weight of baby: Between 4.5-5 pounds!

Labor Signs: No way!!

Symptoms: No real symptoms other than some aches here and there. Nothing too bad.  I do get spoiled with foot massages from a very nice husband :-)

Belly Button in or out? In... although the top sticks out a little bit. 

Wedding rings on or off? Off :-( I finally caved and took them off last week.  I could still twist them around my finger easily but had to use soap and water to wiggle them off.  I didn't want to risk forgetting and them getting stick... or getting a bunch of fluids during delivery and them needing to be cut off.  

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! :-)  Although some anxieties are starting to set in.. she's going to be here SOON!  My bestie has already said she's coming over after my baby shower in a few weeks to help me get everything all set.  Phew, I think I'll feel better then... all the up in the air things are a little anxiety producing with miss Type A over here.

Looking forward to: Meeting our little girl!  I have a shower in a couple weeks that I'm looking forward to.  Lots of friends and family together will be fun... plus I am hoping and praying for a couple friends to be able to all have some good news soon and make it necessary for us to all take a few group pregnancy pictures :-)
