Baby Update: Weeks 32 & 33

Week 32

Week 33

How far along? 33 Weeks

Baby's size? At the Doctor’s appointment this last Wednesday Hudson was about 4 pounds which the doctor said was right on track.

Weight Gain? I am up about 16 pounds overall. I gained a pound in the last two weeks. 

 Maternity clothes? I think I am really tired of my maternity clothes, or I really miss my pre-pregnancy clothes, because this week I found myself wearing a lot of my pre-pregnancy jeans with the belly band. I guess I should be glad they still kind of fit :) My shirts are a mix too. I have found myself buying more regular clothes that I can still wear now but will work after Hudson comes too.

Stretch marks? none yet but I have started putting lotion on my tummy every morning, I figured my luck at not getting them by doing nothing might run out.

Belly button in or out? It is still in but it is almost flat.

Sleep? This one has been interesting. I think my weird dreams are the hardest part of sleeping because I wake up feeling just as tired. I can fall asleep fine and I am getting up about 4 times a night to use the restroom.

Foods I am loving? I have been having a really hard time eating lately. Either I am not hungry at all and forget to eat or I am starving and then get full really fast.

Foods I am hating? Nothing really.

Best moment this week? Getting to see the Hudster :)

Movement? All the time. It is fun to watch my tummy go in all weird directions and a little weird when I feel a distinct foot. He really likes kicking me in the ribs.

Symptoms? Pretty much the normal third trimester things.

Gender? Hudson (a boy)

What I miss? Laying/sleeping on my back. Diet coke and coffee (though I do have the occasional one). My old body. Running. Not feeling the need to sleep all the time. Enough said.

What I'm looking forward to? My second baby shower today :)

Milestone: Nothing specific, I guess I am just glad Hudson in progressing like he should :)

Emotions: We got a lot of the nursery done (all but a few hanging things) which makes me even more ready for him to come! I had a little freak out about the labor and delivery but I asked the doc tons of questions and now I feel a lot better. Overall I am excited to spend a ton of time with the Hubs before the little guy arrives but I also can’t wait for him to be here :)

Baby Update: Weeks 30 & 31

Week 30

Week 31

How far along? 31 Weeks

Baby's size? At our doctors appointment yesterday the Hudster weighed about 3 Ibs 12 oz’s. The doc says he is right where he should be :) According to the different baby update e-mails he is about the size of 4 navel oranges or the size of a squash.

Weight Gain? On both my scale and the doctors I am fluctuating between 15 and 16 pounds overall. I was a little concerned because I have actually lost about 1-2 pounds in the last month but the doctor isn’t worried.

 Maternity clothes? It is still a mix. I wear only maternity bottoms, although I was supper happy to try on some of my pre-pregnancy jeans the other day and although they are tight in waist I can still button them! My shirts are a mix of maternity and non-maternity.

Stretch marks? none yet but I have started putting lotion on my tummy every morning, I figured my luck at not getting them by doing nothing might run out.

Belly button in or out? It is still in but getting more shallow.

Sleep? This one has been interesting. I think my weird dreams are the hardest part of sleeping because I wake up feeling just as tired. I can fall asleep fine and I am getting up about 4 times a night to use the restroom.

Foods I am loving? Pretty much the same. I can’t eat as much at one time but I am still loving fruit (and thanks to my dad I am now addicted to cherries). I am also loving chicken and salads and chocolate.  

Foods I am hating? Nothing really.

Best moment this week? Having the hubs back from his 5 week trip and getting to see Hudson yesterday.

Movement? All the time. It is fun to watch my tummy go in all weird directions and a little weird when I feel a distinct foot.

Symptoms? I am still taking zofran for morning sickness but only every other day. I have still been having the pain in my upper rib area but the doctor said that even though it sounds like my gallbladder unless it is killing me they are going to let it be. I have hit the stage where I am tired all the time. Not just physically tired but sleepy. I am totally not a nap person but during the middle of the day I am so sleepy. 

Gender? Hudson (a boy)

What I miss? Laying/sleeping on my back. Diet coke and coffee (though I do have the occasional one). My old body. Running. Not feeling the need to sleep all the time. Enough said.

What I'm looking forward to? My best friend coming to visit this week!

Milestone: Nothing specific, I guess I am just glad Hudson in progressing like he should :)

Emotions: At the doctors office yesterday they gave us the pre-registration packet for the hospital to fill out and mail it. I don’t know why that little thing made it feel so real! I got a little freaked out because we still have so much to get done. On the other hand I am really ready for him to be here. I can’t wait to see him and I am ready to be done being pregnant. 9 or less more weeks to go..yay!! I sometimes I get a little nervous about the delivery but I think I am more nervous about caring for a newborn and the recovery process.
