33 Weeks

January 30 - February 5
 
Things are coming together and while I still need at least another 3-4 weeks to get everything wrapped up and myself mentally prepared, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I re-read my old posts and it seems like right around 34 weeks I hit the wall in terms of being ready for that pregnancy to be over. Since I don't really have the option to tap out and relax as much this time around, I'm hoping I can hang on another couple of weeks before things start getting really uncomfortable. Guess I don't have a choice, huh? Luckily, I'm feeling pretty good and am still pretty motivated to keep on keepin' on...especially with a fun weekend ahead!

Survey says...

How far along?: 33 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Well, all week it was right around +1-1.5, but today I weighed in up 2.5 from last week. I'm blaming it on Super Bowl snacking and we'll see how things level out later this week. Any kind of salt (i.e. chips, etc) make me retain fluid like crazy. With G I was right around 30 lbs. Even with the 2.5 pound gain, I'm still below that at 27. Woof.

Maternity clothes?:  Yup, pretty much all except exercise clothes and pjs.

Sleep: Lots of wake ups, not terrible when I actually do sleep though.

Best moment of the week: My dad came into town last Thursday and stayed through Monday afternoon. It was great to get some things done around the house and catch up with him. Won't be too long until he's back again.

Movement: Yup. Still definitely head down and getting hiccups every night.

Food Cravings: PB and J sandwiches, Cereal, Green Tea.

Gender: Girl

Belly Button: Same flattie.

Stretchmarks?: None yet.

What I miss: Not too much. Still trucking along and feeling pretty good.

What I am looking forward to: Girl's Weekend! Can't wait to see 3 of my favorite people and have a relaxing and fun few days.

Weekly Wisdom: Etsy has some amazing shops for baby items like headbands, bows, or nursery decor. I have a few things I've ordered, like a "You are my Sunshine" sign and the adorable hat pictured below. I may or may not have a changing pad cover, some bows, and an awesome monogram for above the crib in the works as well...

Milestones: Hmm...well, if I run this afternoon, I will have officially made it to my goal of running until 34 weeks (which starts tomorrow). I'm thinking I can push myself for a couple more. How's 36 sound? That being said. I haven't ran since last Wednesday...sooo, today might be interesting.

Grace's space: Grace has had a pretty good week, despite hanging on to a nasty cough that won't seem to let up. She loved helping my dad with some house projects, like building a bookshelf for her room and the baby's bassinet. She seems to understand that we were putting together the baby's "crib" and will go into my room and look at it every so often.

and I got a mirror...
