Bumpdates: Baby 2: Week 33

How Far Along:
33 Weeks 

Size of baby:
a durian

Total Weight Gain:
15lbs.....ok so I haven't stepped on the scale this week, with no gain last week I'm putting myself at least at 18lbs this week

Stretch Marks: 

Nothing new, sure it's coming.

Maternity Clothes:
yes...the belly taketh over.

Gender:
It's a BOY!

Movement:
yes, especially right when I lay down to go to sleep at night.

Sleep:

UGH.  Not happening, so hard to get comfortable.  I'm totally wishing I would have invested in one of those crazy wrap around your entire body pillows for pregnancy.  Or just the belly hole cut out of my bed so I can sleep on my stomach.  I am not a side sleeper and the stomach tries to kill me if I lie on my back.  As a matter of fact I may seek out a preggo pillow online now.  I'm dying.

What I miss:
not dying from searing hip pain.  For real a girl just wants to bend over/walk/do stairs without feeling like a 90 year old in need of a hip replacement.  Shit.

Food Cravings:    
Nothing in particular anymore.  Actually moving back to having more adversions and nothing really sounding good.  Still loving the dairy, Milk, Yogurt, Cottage Cheese.  Fresh veggies.  

Food Aversions: 
Lots of things starting to not sound good to me.  I don't know if it was a combination of cabin fever with limited foodstuffs in the house so nothing we had sounded good or what.  Oh yeah, did you know it snowed here, LIKE A LOT of snow.  I may have missed 3 days of work due to the amount of snow abundant on the roads/my drive way Monday morning, -40's windchill that prevented my truck from starting on Tuesday and a second day of dead battery on Wednesday.  Yeah, I enjoyed not having to work but I'm pretty sure work must hate me now!

Symptoms:
Hip pain which was actually better this week since I spent so much time at home not walking around 3 different buildings at work, and I didn't have a photography session this week so there was no extra moving around to be done.  Frequent trips to pee.  General pressure and comfortableness.  An inability to find a comfortable sleeping position at night!

Best Moment This Week:

Mother nature creating a few extra days home with my kiddo.  I told her last night that she had to go to the baby sitters today and she said "But I thought you were gonna stay home with me forever?"  I wish kiddo, I wish.  (sometimes)

What I’m looking forward to: 

Maternity leave.  Seriously.  This is my third week of only actually going to work for a day, I can't say that I completely hate that fact.  I just wish I didn't have to come in at all.

Addison:
I got to spend lots of extra time with my girl this week, for the most part it went very well.  I only had a few moments of complete annoyance with an inability to listen.  Which what do you expect after being trapped inside a house for a few days due to the redunkulous cold!   We made some art projects for Baby Frankenstein/Pudding, got some of the "newborn" stuff organized and out where it will be needed and spent plenty of time cuddling, doing puzzles and being silly.
