Pregnancy Info:
I was reading one of my old roommates blogs, who is due the same day as me, and at the end of each of her posts she answers questions about her pregnancy update that I really liked. Hopefully she doesn't mind I am using the same questions... Here hee:)
How far along: 33 weeks 1 day
Size of baby: I think he is about 17 to 18 inches long and weighing around 4 lbs. He is about the size of a honey dew if you can picture that.
Total weight gain/loss: As of my last dr's appointment on Friday I have gained 23 lbs since July.
Maternity Clothes: I am wearing all the cute clothes my sister's gave me but I can still fit in some of my non-maternity clothes except for pants( he hates anything tight on the tummy and will let me know every time).
Stretch Marks: Not that I can see yet.
Sleep: I feel like I have been so lucky because once I am out, I am out. Lately though I have had to get up to go to the bathroom and it is more difficult to change positions. I would die without my big pillow.
Best moments: This baby boy has made his presence known since week 16 by kicking me. At times it is rough and feel like he is going to explode from my tummy but I have been so grateful for the movement to know that he is healthy and well. I love how Zach loves to feel his baby and how the baby knows it's his daddy.
Movement: I told the dr on Friday that I didn't know when this baby sleeps because he is always moving. It is rare when he doesn't move and I immediately think there is something wrong.
Food Craving: I haven't had any that I have had to have right then and there but lately all I want is cheese.
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: I don't think I have but I had a lot of discomfort yesterday and pain in different places.
Belly Button: Totally out. I even had a girl at church today say how cute my belly button was.
What I miss: I miss being able to lift things and have the energy I once had. I realize that I don't like asking for help and having to put people out to help me.
What I am looking forward to: I am so excited to meet this little guy and just to hold him. I am also excited to see how awesome a dad Zach is going to be.
I feel so blessed to be having such a good pregnancy even with the scare of having a fibroid(non-cancerous tumor) and not having insurance to see a dr for a month at the the same time. I was able to have the love and support from family and friends that got me through. Now onto getting this baby as fat as possible and making it to the due date!
