Week 33


This week, the baby is the size of: durian fruit... what kind of fruit is that?!
Due date: December 12, 2013
How far along: 33 weeks
Next appointment: October 29, it will be a regular check up.
Total weight gain: I have no idea.  I have weighed myself in a while.
Gender: Girl, I get my little princess. :)
Exercise: I hate exercising.  It is exhausting.
Stretch marks: Unfortunately.... but I'm still using my tummy butter to prevent any others...
Swelling: Trying to help with the swelling of my feet by keeping them elevated and drinking a lot of water.
Maternity clothes: Yes.  My new tops came in!
Belly button: Well, sometimes its in and sometimes its partially out.  Ha ha ha
Sleep: Sleeping has been okay.  It has become more difficult to roll over and switch sides though.
Food cravings and aversions: I haven't really had any major cravings.
Symptoms: Swelling of my feet, minor back pain, and exhaustion.
Labor signs: I think I might be getting braxton hicks.
Movement: Same as last week.  I can feel her moving quite a bit now.  I can tell that she is getting cramped in there!  I love feeling her move except when she stretches.  That hurts.... a lot.
What I miss: my clothes and small feet!!
What I am loving: feeling ally move more often.
What I am looking forward to: The baby shower, its on the 26th!!
Best moment of the week: I ordered my dress for my maternity pictures.
News: This week has been very uneventful.  I worked on a lot of school work...  I went shopping but didn't get anything.  Shopping has been the most pleasant of experiences lately.  Especially since i can't wear what I want to wear.  Saturday is my shoer though and I am looking forward to that.  Also my birthday is on the 28th.  I will be 21.  Woohoo.  Unfortunately I am not too excited which is kind of disappointing.  I am the kind of person that counts down several days to my birthday and all of the sudden its 4 days to my birthday and I am just like well whatever.  Sorry for the downer of a post.  I am sure that next week's post will be more eventful.

Best moment of the week: Well this hard but I think the best moment was getting my new car, woo too!!
News: Cam and I have gotten to spend this whole week together which is very much needed.  We made a lot of big purchases this week.  First we got brand new stainless steel appliances!  The ones that the previous owner had left were ugly white ones and we were having trouble with the refrigerator because of the placing of it in the kitchen.  I must say that the kitchen looks fabulous now!  Later on I got a new car! Happy early birthday to me from Cam!! He really is the best. :)  And then yesterday we got Allison's furniture.  I think they are gorgeous!  I can't wait until the nursery is done so I can post pictures. :)
