33 Weeks: Durian

Note to self, this shirt makes me look way bigger then I think I really am!
And yes, I now have an "outie."

How big is baby: Baby is the size of a durian (what is that?) this week 17.2-18.7 inches and 4.2-5.8 lbs.  According to our u/s yesterday, baby weighed about 4 lbs. 12 oz (52 percentile) so right on track!

Stretch marks: No.

Sleep:  Still waking up all the time.  Hip pain.  I've also been having more dreams of the baby actually being here.  Let's not make an appearance yet, we still have a few things to do before we're ready!    

Diet/Cravings/Aversions:  Fruit and sweets.  

Exercise:  Walking when I have time.  Work has been kicking my butt!

Gender: We'll find out in October!  

Movement: All the time.  And sometimes painful!  Aaron got to feel the baby in crazy action this past weekend and was shocked at how strong the kicks have gotten.  Future soccer player like daddy??  

I was completely wrong on positioning too.  I thought for sure baby was laying sideways based on where I've been feeling movement.  Turns out baby is head down and getting ready for his/her debut!  Now, I have no clue what body parts have been jabbing me in certain spots :)

The belly:  Definitely there.  And an outie belly button.  It was only a matter of time.

What I'm spazzing about:  Nothing really this week.

What I'm loving:  Getting the nursery more ready.  Making our final to do list (I love lists)!  And having only 7 weeks left (less than 7 now) :)

Symptoms:  Sore hips at night.  Heartburn...mostly just reflux right now.  Terrible back pain at work.  Numb patch at the top of my uterus.  Some cramping which the doctor said was normal since my uterus is growing.  Pretty much all the same as last week.

What I'm looking forward to:  Getting to meet this little baby.  Seeing him/her on the u/s, and so big this time, really got me even more excited :)     

Best moment of the week:  Our baby shower!  And getting to see so many friends and family :)  Oh, and how could I forget!!  Seeing baby yesterday :)  This is just an iphone picture so not the best quality, but you get the gist of it.  I think Baby might have daddy's nose?  We'll see!
