How far along? 33 weeks
Total weight gain: Up 7lbs as of my last appointment
Maternity clothes? Yes. Still. Forever.
Sleep: Sleep is for the weak. (And I am one of them.) I don’t need no stinkin’ sleep! (Yes OMG yes I do.) I get up about 5 times a night to pee and the cold is always worse at night and Smushy is not big on sleeping in these days. I think I’m averaging maybe 4-5 hours total a night. On a good night. I neeeeeed sleeeeeep. Smushy was nice enough to let me sleep in for about an hour and a half this morning though, so that was nice.
Food cravings: None cravings. And I still (STILL!) have morning sickness. I don’t mention it because it’s not the worst morning sickness ever, but come on! 33 weeks? Really?
Best moment this week: That one day I got to take a nap. Yeah, not so much exciting stuff going on these days.
Movement: He has been super quiet for the past 3 days. I actually called the doctor today for the first time ever and HAD to doppler him. I know they have quiet days and that’s fine, but 3 in a row when he is usually VERY active worried me. I’m loading up on the caffeine today to try to get more movement out of him.
Gender: Boy. (Still.) Also boring question. (Still.)
Labor Signs: I have been having a ton of contractions lately and I have to work harder to get rid of them. Much more water and relaxing than usual. I’m sure it doesn’t mean anything, but it is a little annoying. It would be nice to stand up and walk to the bathroom without having one.
Belly Button in or out? Out-ish.
What I miss: Everything. Undercooked eggs, wine, normal sleep, being able to breathe through my nose. Just everything.
What I am looking forward to: The end. I haven’t wanted to rush this pregnancy along, but I’m feeling very anxious to meet this guy. I’m terrified of all the changes and adjusting to life as a mom of 2, but so so ready to see him and hold him. It makes me feel guilty since I know I want to enjoy every minute, but it’s getting harder to be patient.
Weekly Wisdom: When nothing is going right and everything is out to ruin your day, it is absolutely ok to sit on the couch eating your craving of choice and watching bad TV. Sometimes it’s actually necessary.
Milestones: Third Trimester! Still chugging along.
