33 Weeks

I had a great appointment today!  We're kind of in the "just checking in" phase of appointments...just sitting down with the doctor to make sure everything sounds good, measuring my stomach, getting lab work, and hearing the heart beat.  Everything's looking great and completely normal! I go back in two weeks, and after that we're on the weekly schedule! :)

Size of Baby: According to Baby Center, about the size of a pineapple!  A little over 4 pounds and 17 inches long.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I am almost even with my last weigh-in at the doctor...so still up 19 pounds.

Maternity Clothes: Starting to grow out of maternity...I'm wearing the same few things over and over.  I absolutely refuse to buy something for the next two months or less though, so y'all will just see me in the same thing over and over for awhile! :)

Gender: It's a GIRL!  Emma Ramey

Belly Button In/Out: I think it is officially flat.  The upper half sticks out occasionally too...I don't understand why the upper half though.

Stretch Marks: None still!  The line below my belly button is just a little darker this week.

Movement: Movements are BIG now.  I don't get too many kicks (mostly rolling around), but when I do, she kicks with a purpose!  And they're starting to hurt a little, especially when she kicks the same place over and over.  But I still love it!

Sleep: Starting to get HOT!  I haven't had any issues with being hot the whole pregnancy, but the last few nights I have been burning up, even with a box fan blowing right on me!

What I miss: Being able to bend over, pick things up, lean down, etc...you don't realize how much you need to move around until you can't do it!

What I am looking forward to: Our first shower is Saturday!

Cravings/Aversions: I've been super thirsty and wanting fruit the past couple of days.  I'll get on my kicks where I want candy too!

Symptoms: The Braxton Hicks are getting stronger...I had one last night that I could barely breathe through, much less function.  A little achy, tired by the end of the day, and still super moody...everything's just getting to me lately!

Best Moment This Week: Watching the belly...I'm trying to soak it up while I still can!  It's SO cool to see her moving, kicking, and hiccuping!

Hiccups!

I've been meaning to get a good video of Emma Ramey dancing around in my tummy (which is very, very noticeable from the outside), but just haven't for some reason.  I did get a somewhat cool video today though - hiccups!  This is the first time I've been able to see them outside of my tummy, so I got a quick video since I had my phone right there anyway.  Look at the right side of my belly, especially in the first few seconds of the video!

(And can you tell I'm living in like 5 sets of clothes these days? I'm pretty sure I was wearing these pajama pants in a post a few days ago...)

Hardy Lately

I'd like to think that I'm going to do as many updates on Hardy after March, but let's be honest, it probably isn't going to happen.  Hardy's slowly taking second place in our world...and to be honest, I'm starting to think he might like it.

He has been super cuddly lately...particularly with my belly.  It's really cute!  We had some really bad storms come through last night, which always freaks him out.  He gets really clingy anyway when the weather is bad, so he just cuddled on me like this all night!

Please notice how he is all up on the belly...this is his favorite spot!

He is still barking at random things and when we get home...we're working on that now.  We didn't figure that was the best idea when we have a newborn in the house, so we're in the process of training.  So far, so good!

He can still make me laugh like no other animal on earth.  Here he is with Noah a few nights ago.  I don't believe we'll ever break him of begging for food, and occasionally we have a little fun with it! :)

He likes to go in "little sister's" room and smell everything, especially if it's new.  Sometimes we catch him just sitting in there, almost like he's protecting something.

If Noah and I are sitting somewhere, he has to be in between us, almost like that's his natural spot.  It's usually because he's going to get scratched behind the ears too.

He's still our sweet guy, and will always be our first baby!  But he's doing a pretty good job of taking second place too. :)

32 Weeks

Thanks for all of the sweet comments on the nursery preview yesterday...sorry to be a tease! :)  I can't wait to show the rest off.  It should be soon...we're almost done!

 
Size of Baby: According to Baby Center, about the size of a jicama (what is that???)...about 3.75 pounds and almost 17 inches long

Total Weight Gain/Loss: I don't know if the doctor's scale is just off from mine, but I'm up about 15 pounds according to my home scale, as opposed to 19 pounds at the doctor's office last week.  I don't know.

Maternity Clothes: All maternity...some of it isn't fitting anymore as a matter of fact.  The bigger stuff still works fine!

Gender: It's a GIRL!  Emma Ramey
Belly Button In/Out: Almost flat, and occasionally half of it will be an outie...it's weird!

Stretch Marks: None still, thank goodness!  But the very faint "line" below the belly button is still there...not any darker though.

Movement: She's sort of slowed down this week.  I don't know if it's because I've been sick or she's just moving in the middle of the night when I'm asleep, but not as many jabs and kicks...a lot of rolling around though.

Sleep: Terrible, but not because of pregnancy.  I still have this miserable crud, and I can't stop coughing!  I have finally broken down and taken Tylenol PM the past couple of nights...I had to so I could at least get some sleep.  It's my best friend right now!

What I miss: Well, once again not pregnancy related, but not coughing.  It got real old, real quick.

What I am looking forward to: Our showers start next weekend!

Cravings/Aversions: Really not anything...sweets still.

Symptoms: Still lots of Braxton Hicks, but the breathing has been MUCH better this week...maybe she's starting to drop just a little?  It might be too early, but I've noticed a big difference.  And the mood swings, y'all...say a prayer for my husband.  It doesn't take much to set me off these days.

Best Moment This Week: Hmm...it hasn't been a very eventful week honestly.  I did love having Monday off to get lots of things ready though!
