37 weeks




How far along: 37 weeks
How big is baby: 6.3 lbs! Big boy :)
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.
Food aversions: Nope
Food cravings: I wanted breakfast for dinner the other night, so hubs agreed :)
Symptoms: Just the occasional elbow, knee, foot or something poking me from the inside.
Movement: So much...I think he's trying to find more space.
Belly Button in or out: Out, most of the time!
What I’m looking forward to: Watching Malachi, Ryan and baby boy play together.  I love watching Malachi and Ryan together, and I know this next little one will love to join them.
Wedding rings on or off: On
Happy or moody: Happy!
What I miss: Um, nothing. I can pretty much do everything I've always done.  It just takes longer lol.

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!
