33 Weeks


How far along? 33 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Up 15 lbs still.
Maternity clothes? Yes, but I've been living in yoga pants and maternity shirts while on bed rest.
Stretch marks? No new ones from last week, but the existing ones seem more apparent.
Sleep: I'm sleeping OK, but if I need a nap, it's not like I have anywhere to be...
Best moment this week: The outpouring of support from our neighbors and church. I've never received so many (quite insistent) offers to provide meals, etc.
Movement: Yup, but it's different than before. Now it's mostly just pressure as he twists around and stretches. I have finally decided that the little rhythmic pulses in my lower abdomen must be hiccups.
Food cravings: Still craving sweets.
Gender: Boy
Labor Signs: I feel pressure (like he's pushing down) any time I sit up too long, so I'm trying to be good on my bed rest restrictions. I got really nervous last night because I wasn't feeling well and was having a lot of pressure. I just feel like I don't know what's real labor, what's false labor, and what's just normal pregnancy discomfort.
Belly Button in or out? In, but very shallow.
What I miss: Going outside, even when it's 100+ degrees. Sitting up and walking around without worry.
What I am looking forward to: My parents coming up this weekend, even though it won't be like we planned. Also, my 34 week appointment to see what's going on down there.
Weekly Wisdom: Try to have a positive attitude, no matter what complications arise. It's all for the good of your little one!
Milestones: 50% effaced, -3/-2 station

A picture will have to wait until tomorrow, I think. (Picture taken at 33w1d and posted at 33w2d)
