Total weight gain: 28 lbs so far :)
Maternity clothes: No thanks
Stretch marks: Not that I can see...
Sleep:  Between my appetite and my bladder and the constant rolling in my belly, I'd say it's about as good as can be expected :p
Best moment of the week: Finding out I'm dilated about 1-2 cm as of my appt on 1/28 :) That means it's real!! lol.  And we did another 3D/4D session on Ryan's "weekend." It's been a while since he's been able to see him, and Malachi always loves to see baby brother on tv, so it was fun for us all.

33 Weeks

How far along: 33 weeks

How big is baby: Um, huge? :p Dr said around 4 lbs 12 oz, but he thinks that is a high estimate.  

Total weight gain: 24 lbs!
Maternity clothes: They look way less awkward than my non maternity shirts.  But I can't get myself to buy them because they're never on the clearance rack lol.
Stretch marks: Not yet. 
Sleep: Oh man.  It took me several days to learn how to be comfortable in my own days, with my own pillows.  Then we slept at Ryan's parents' house last night...a new bed and new pillows.  I couldn't figure out how to not be miserable, and my poor husband suffered right along with me.  Then around 4:15 he started rubbing my back and I don't think I woke up again after that.  He's such a keeper.
Best moment of the week: I got to see the little man at the Dr :)
Food aversions: Nope
Food cravings: I had a slight craving for spaghetti last night, but not enough to start making some.  
Symptoms: Same ole stuff.  Back, ribs, hips, lack of energy/patience.  
Movement: Tons! I love it :) I especially love that his hiccups are small.
Belly Button in or out: It's usually out on top.  By the end of the day, depending on how much I've had to eat, it's out on bottom too.  It's made for some great pictures during this holiday season :p  
What I’m looking forward to: Picking a name already, my goodness. 
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody: Happy...but less patient.
What I miss: Nothing new really!

30 and 32 weeks

It has obviously been a pretty busy month! It takes so much energy to change pants though, so it looks like from here on out, just the shirt will be the same in each picture :p 

How far along: 32 weeks

How big is baby: The size of a jicama. I have no idea what that is lol. But almost 4 pounds and about 15 inches.  

Total weight gain: Well it's been a month...and it's Christmas season...AND...Our neighbors do a baked goods exchange for everyone in the court.  So probably about 25 by now lol.
Maternity clothes: I got some for Christmas! Shirts that will cover my belly :p
Stretch marks: Not yet. 
Sleep: It's tough, and will only get harder.  I've enjoyed a couple naps this weekend. But congestion has made me snore so my poor husband hasn't slept well either :p
Best moment of the week: I've been working on a little side job that has been a lot of fun :)
Food aversions: Nope
Food cravings: Nothing 
Symptoms: I can't move lol. Well I can. But I feel like I'm dragging a truck around with me every time I want to switch positions.
Movement: I tried explaining this to Ryan today. It feels like he went straight from cute little forward rolls to doing front flips on a trampoline. Straight into my ribs.
Belly Button in or out: It's out on top like it was with Malachi, and if I lay down on my back it's out a little on bottom too.  
What I’m looking forward to: Picking a name already, my goodness. 
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody: Happy :) 
What I miss: Being able to play with Malachi without getting too tired.

28 weeks

How far along: 28 weeks...wow!

How big is baby: The size of an eggplant. I told Ryan that tonight and his response was, "Whoa that's huge!!" Yea babe, I know :p

Total weight gain: We'll stick with 20 lbs because I don't know the truth. 
Maternity clothes: Nope
Stretch marks: Nope...and judging by these comparisons, I don't think any will show up on my "upper thighs" after baby is born either :p
Sleep: I'm basically nocturnal.  Having a week of working at home instead of at the studio didn't help my sleep schedule at all. But hey...work has to get done!
Best moment of the week: Mashed potatoes, definitely.
Food aversions: Nope
Food cravings: It was cinnamon rolls one day. Luckily I have a great husband who went to get them!
Symptoms: Today was busy so my belly felt heavier than normal.  Other than that, I've been feeling pretty good.
Movement: I've been feeling his hiccups lately.  Malachi's were much bigger and much more uncomfortable.  
Belly Button in or out: In for now.  I don't think it will ever pop out completely but who knows!
What I’m looking forward to: Still looking forward to him being big enough to come out, because Malachi keeps asking when he will be here. 
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody: Happy :) 
What I miss: Being able to use my abs without them cramping up lol
