33 Weeks/T-minus 7 weeks

Baby is now the size of a melon!
Baby’s senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through your (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, baby can now recognize and react to simple songs… time to start practicing your lullabies! Growth (at least inside your womb) is starting to slow, and you may notice baby descend into your pelvis at the end of this month.


How Far Along: 33 weeks and 4 days
Total weight gain: I was 1 lb up when I got on the scale the other day. I have a doctor's appointment on Monday, so we'll see!
Maternity clothes: The number of work clothes going into the "Can't wear until after pregnancy" side of the closet is increasing on a weekly basis. I wore a pair of scrub pants the other day that made me uncomfortable all day. Blah. I'm also pretty tired of the maternity tops I have, but I don't think I'll buy any more this late. That would be kind of ridiculous.
Sleep: It's been really good lately. Especially on my days off...I can sleep until around 12 or 1 even with pee breaks.
Best Moment this week: Getting most of the baby laundry done and put away and filling out my work schedule for the last week before I go out. Yay!
Movement: Still a very active little girl! It's so much fun to lay on the couch and watch my belly ripple with her movements.
Gender: Sweet baby girl!
Labor signs: None and I hope not to see any for a long time!
Belly button: Innie, but becoming more shallow
Cravings: Strawberry ice cream...yummo!
Nausea: It hasn't been too bad this week...thank goodness.
What I miss: Love it all!
Stretch Marks: Present and accounted for!
New/Weird Pregnancy Symptom: You don't want to know.
Weekly wisdom: Having a day off without doing a thing is completely necessary.
What I am looking forward to this week: Shopping for fabric for the hospital gown my mom is going to make me and going to a consignment sale tomorrow.
