33 weeks

33 weeks - I am going to be HUGE!

33 weeks with K

Total Weight Gain: 18 pounds total.  I actually lost a pound since my last appointment, but Dr. N was not too concerned.  I have been fighting a cold the last week and a half/two weeks and the weather has provided some awesome days and nights which has led to more walks, trips to the park, a trip to Purdue's Spring Fest, etc.  I was measuring at 32 weeks, which again she wasn't too concerned but said we would watch it to make sure the baby is okay and such moving forward.

Maternity Clothes: I have been loving the warmer weather and have discovered my love for maxi skirts!  Keep it coming Mother Nature, as the snow on Monday night/Tuesday was not funny!!

Sleep: It's still okay.  I've had to to prop myself up with some extra pillows due to my awesome cold/cough. Usually a Tums before bed does the trick, but some nights an extra is required mid-night slumber.

Best Moment of the Week: Finding out that I had not exponentially gained weight!!  And Aunt Jessica giving us the new "Mr. Bear" for this baby.  She is amazing.  Now we just need to come up with a new name for the bear.  Can't have two Mr. Bear's as that would be confusing!!

Worst Moment of the Week: Coughing so much last Friday night and again on Monday night that I vomited.

Movement: This kid is going to be wild if it's anything like it's movement.  Although, Monday and Tuesday this week it was moving still, but seemed to be more gentle.  I mentioned this to Dr. N and she said it was because of the full moon.  So strange, but kind of makes sense.

Food Cravings: None.  Nothing ever sounds good anymore.  Luckily Kherington is decisive and helps determine what we have to eat. :)

Food Aversions: Nothing really, which I'm thankful for.

Symptoms: Heartburn {I just had to purchase my third economy size bottle of Tums yesterday, but haven't had to move to anything stronger like Zantac with K, so I'm thankful}.  Some hip pain, but that has gotten better.  My wrists bother me on Sundays during yoga, but using blocks seem to help.  Nothing out of the ordinary for nearing the home stretch!

Gender: 50/50 {although my co-worker would say it is technically 48/52}.  A pool is beginning to take place at work.  I thought it might be fun to start an overall pool to see who can guess correctly.  You can make your guess here!

Names: Elliana Hope or Cayden Michael

Labor Signs: Not outside of some Braxton Hicks.  I did debate calling/going to the hospital last Tuesday due to a constant contraction like pain, but spoke with Jenny the doula, and we determined {which Dr. N agreed yesterday at my appointment} that it was probably just my muscles spasming from coughing so much that day.

Belly Button: Still gone, but now has decided to poke out a little on the top - GROSS!

What I Miss: I have had a few days of work lately that a big glass of Moscato would have been really nice.  Only 15 more work days left until maternity leave though!!

What I Am Looking Forward To: My awesome co-workers are throwing me a baby shower on Tuesday, which is super sweet of them.

What the heck is a durian anyways?
