How far along? 33 weeks
How I am feeling? Well, emotional. Physically I'm feeling well, but I do notice myself getting overwhelmed, whiny, and emotional suddenly and without warning.
How big is baby? The size of a durian fruit...17.2-18.7 inches, and 4.2-5.8 pounds.
Sleep: Sleep is my best friend these days, which is sad because there are so many other things I'd rather be doing this time of year BESIDES sleeping.
Boy/Girl Prediction: No prediction.
Baby Nicknames: Pretty much Baby, Jitterbug, Nugget, or Little One
Best moment this week: This week has been very productive as we've done the following: baby laundry, baby clothes organization, set up our hospital tour, and began packing our hospital bag. It feels really good to check things off major TO-DO list.
Food cravings: Coconut shrimp, food that is spicy, and cheerios... but I've been trying to eat more hard-boiled eggs for protein rather than my cravings.
Labor Signs: No. Thank goodness!
General Attitude: Focusing on saving as much energy as possible so I can be a great bridesmaid, and wife on Saturday at Chris' brother's wedding in St. Louis. It's going to be a LOOOONG day, and I'm a bridesmaid, and Hubby is best man. I'm so excited to be a part of this wedding, so I'm doing everything I can to gear myself up to have all the energy necessary to make it a wonderful day.
What I am looking forward to this week: It will feel so nice to welcome in Christmas break. We are going to have a CRAZY busy Christmas vacation, but I'm excited to have a break from work and have a few weeks to focus on family, Hubby and Baby.
Milestones: Well, I'm not happy about this milestone, but, at the instruction of my husband, I have removed my rings for the duration of my pregnancy. I have 4 rings I wear every day (my wedding ring, engagement ring, and two small rings that were my sister's), and every day I take off 3 rings and leave my wedding band on all the time. Well, after church, Hubby saw me struggling to get my 3 rings off, and told me, the time had come to surrender all four of the rings until after the baby arrives. I'm so bummed about it, because I LOVE my rings... they are each very sentimental to me, and I wear them daily for a reason. Also, I DID NOT want to be 8 and 9 months pregnant without a wedding band. So, Hubby and I went to Wal-Mart, and I now have a larger, very simple pregnancy wedding band that will suffice until I can put my beautiful engagement and wedding rings back on.
Missing: My usual energy during this time of year, and time to relax and soak in the Christmas season.
Movements: I feel like I write the same thing every week, but I LOVE these baby movements! Feeling our little one move and kick is my favorite thing in the world. My favorite times are when I'm stretched out in bed, so the baby has a little more room, and can kick to its heart's content without making me uncomfortable.
Labor Signs: No. Thank goodness!

Luckily I don' strugle with my rings (yet!!). I hope I won't have to take them off...
ReplyDeleteAnd isn't it exciting to be getting near the end?! We can almost hold our baby in our arms, it's surreal!
