baby #3: 33 weeks

33weeksBaby’s size: About 19 inches long and a little over 4 pounds. As the Ovia app says, “she is getting HUGE!” I certainly feel like I have a giant baby in my belly!

Maternity clothes?: Does this still have to be a question? Obviously, YES!

Gender: Girl!

Symptoms: The rest of my family got over whatever congestion we all had going on last week… but I still have a sinus infection! I really don’t think it’s allergies because sometimes my muscles ache right along with it. Hopefully it goes away soon!

Sleep: I’m starting to get really restless at night! I have so many things to get done that I don’t want to go to bed, even when I know I’m exhausted. I basically work on my to-do list or read until I pass out, and then I’m up once or twice to use the bathroom in the middle of the night.

Movement: Wild and crazy, as always! I don’t think she ever really stops! She’s also had some serious hiccups this week. I keep joking that she must be tall, because she can get her feet all the way up in my ribs. I will be surprised if she isn’t!

Cravings: Hershey’s chocolate.

What I miss: Running faster? I think that’s always my answer at this point, haha! I also miss being able to get in and out of bed/turn over without so much difficulty.

Anything making you queasy or sick?: I’ve had some nausea again this week (the congestion actually seems to make it worse), and no food really seems appealing to me.

Belly Button in or out?: Part of it sticks out and part of it is flat… so weird-looking.

Exercising?: Ran 21.9 miles. I did one run without my belt because somehow it fell into the hamper and I couldn’t find it in time, and honestly, I have NO idea how I ran without one during my last two pregnancies. It makes a HUGE difference! If you’re a pregnant runner looking for a belt, this one has served me so well! Fitbit total: 81,674 steps.

Mood: I’m in full-on “nesting mode”, and I think Michael is too, because we have been getting so much done on the house! I’m so grateful for his willingness to help make all my crazy ideas come to life (even when I change my mind several times in the course of a project)!

Best moment this week: Getting my dress for family pictures! Now I just have to hope the weather cooperates and we get some great lighting!

Looking forward to: All the visitors we’ll be having soon! We have different family members each coming up for the weekend in the next three weeks. After that, it will be almost baby time!

Big sisters: Kaelyn is still obsessed with my belly and has been taking good care of her baby doll. Kaya still loves to tell me that she can or can’t eat something because “her baby does/doesn’t like that.” Hahaha.

Comparison: For the record, I didn’t even plan to wear the same shirt this time as I did at 33 weeks with Kaya; and I was at the beach at 33 weeks with Kaelyn. Take me back!
