34 Weeks!

How far along: 34 weeks!

Baby is the size of:  A Butternut Squash.

Physical symptoms: A lot of discomfort, fatigue, irritability. I'm just a joy to be around lately.
 
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Up 42lbs. I'm really struggling with my weight gain emotionally lately.

Maternity clothes: Yes.

Stretch marks: One new little bastard by my belly button.
 
Sleep: is for wimps.
 
Best moment last week: Uhhhh... we made it another week?
  
Movement: Yes. She's a kicker.
 
Food cravings: Same old, same old. I'm pretty boring.

Sex:  Girl. Although sometimes I wonder, we will find out for sure in 6 weeks, I guess! I mean, we've had 2 ultrasounds and the Panorama, but you never know.

Labor signs: Nope.
 
Belly button: Mostly out!
 
What I miss: Energy. So tired all the time...

What I am looking forward to: Baby Shower the second is on Sunday!

33 Weeks

How far along: 33 weeks!

Baby is the size of:  A Durian. Whatever the fuck that is.

Physical symptoms: I feel so uncomfortable it's not even funny. My back is killing me, walking hurts and my joints are so loose. I don't know how I'm going to take 7 more weeks of this.
 
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Not sure, not checking.

Maternity clothes: All the fucking time, unless I'm naked. I wish I were naked.

Stretch marks: Nothing new, so there's that.
 
Sleep: is not for the wicked.
 
Best moment last week: Baby Shower numero uno was on Sunday! It went really well. We got a lot of clothes and some definitely needed items.
  
Movement: She likes to stick her butt out.
 
Food cravings: Not really anything I couldn't live without.

Sex:  Still Girl!

Labor signs: No, no, no.
 
Belly button: Still fighting the good fight.
 
What I miss: Moving. Also putting pants and underwear on by myself.

What I am looking forward to: 34 week visit in a week and Baby Shower numero dos the following Sunday.
 
Milestones: Just continuing the countdown!



Also here is our cake from our baby shower. Long story short, mom's friend/cohost bailed on her and she was in charge of cake and games. My older brother planned the games for us and made our cake (strawberry with strawberries in it). My dad decorated it and put my Mr. Darcy on there. If he understood he'd be flattered, but as he is a cat he'd assume it was expected ;). So shower started off a bit stressful, but things came together in the end. Also the cake was delicious, better than a bakery I think.

32 Weeks

 A day late and a dollar short.

How far along: 32 weeks!

Baby is the size of:  A Squash.

Physical symptoms: Still Calf pain, mostly moodiness this last week. I've got the third tri's real bad. I've also had a reemergence of RLP.
 
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Up 38lbs from pre-pregnancy per my visit yesterday. Bleh. I drowned my sorrows in some ice cream because I'm smart like that.

Maternity clothes: A dear friend sent me some that she doesn't need anymore, thank you thank you.

Stretch marks: Nothing really. The one from last week ended up being just from my pants. *knock on wood*.
 
Sleep: Could be better, could be worse. 
 
Best moment last week: Being able to say "2 months" when people ask when baby is coming. It feels so much more final.
  
Movement: She's definitely running out of space. Things feel much more pronounced and sometimes painful.
 
Food cravings: Nothing new.

Sex:  Girl!

Labor signs: None, thank goodness.
 
Belly button: Almost there! You can do it, button!
 
What I miss: Being able to relax. I feel constantly stressed.

What I am looking forward to: Baby shower #1 on Sunday. I'm a little worried as no one has bought anything off of our registry yet... Either we are going to end up with a bunch of stuff that we don't need/tons of clothes (baby girl, so no surprise there) or no one is going to come... I'm feeling a bit anxious about the possibility of the latter.
 
Milestones: 8 months pregnant! Woo!

31 Weeks... a little late

 Yeah, no real excuse. Just pure laziness.

How far along: 31 weeks!

Baby is the size of:  A coconut. Now we're getting somewhere.

Physical symptoms: Calf pain, and apparently a new found relationship with feeling my transverse colon. Pregnancy is weird.
 
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I didn't weigh myself this week and I'm not gonna.

Maternity clothes: Starting to grow out of some.

Stretch marks: Got a new one forming by my belly button.
 
Sleep: Comes and goes.

Best moment last week: IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!
  
Movement: Yes, she's passing her kick counts with flying colors. Good girl.
 
Food cravings: Meh, same old same old. Nothing that I would kill for.

Sex:  Girl, as sure as I can ever be.

Labor signs: Not yet.
 
Belly button: It's trying very hard to pop fully out. Tends to be out further during the evening as opposed to the day. I assume due to her position.
 
What I miss: Not feeling my colon.

What I am looking forward to: 32 week doctor visit on Wednesday and Baby Shower numero uno on the 17th.
 
Milestones: Once again...

IT'S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!
