How far along: 33 Weeks.
How big is baby: 5lbs.
Total weight gain: 31+ lbs.
Maternity Clothes: Yes. And in this photo I’m actually wearing a dress that I’m wearing as a shirt. Goes to show you just how little I was and now how big I am.
Sleep: The number one reason why I am ready to have this baby already. I sleep about 1 to 1-1/2 hours at a time before I wake up having to pee, have awful leg cramps and killer back pain. I hate taking Tylenol but I have had to take quite a bit lately. As well as use the heating pad but I get so hot at night that it’s hard to use that without overheating.
Best moment of the week: I don’t really know. It’s been a little lonely this week.
Food Cravings: Oranges.
Food Aversions: Coffee and bacon.
Symptoms: I am so tired. Exhausted. Peeing a lot. Leg cramps. Back pain. Insomnia. Anxiety. And the ever so lovely acne. Itchy skin to the point where I scratch my skin off. Yuck.
Mood: Blessed, thankful, excited, anxious, lonely and I sort of feel like I’m in a funk.
Movement: She hiccups at least 3-4 times a day. And moves like crazy.
What I’m looking forward to: The next US, seeing if I have progressed at all (effacement), Josie’s arrival and my husband coming home.
What I miss: Sleep! My husband. My family. Summer. The warm weather.
For a good laugh, here is the photo of me in the dress (I’m wearing it as a shirt above). This was 15 months ago:
Lol! I love the comparison! I feel “ready” though too. The symptoms have finally started to get to me, and I’m ready to meet Abby. I’m scared by that thought, but not sure how much more I can take of swollen hands and feet! Lol. We are so close!
So close, so close. Just a little bit longer. haha 🙂
Lol the dress. Still looks fantastic as a shirt 🙂
Haha, thanks Jen! 🙂
