33 weeks

How far along? 33 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Up 37 pounds...did I mention I have at least five more weeks to go??!?

Maternity clothes: I had to go buy another pair of maternity jeans yesterday because the ones I have been wearing religiously do NOT fit anymore! I am SO ready to be able to wear my normal clothes again!

Stretch marks: ..are hideous, ugly things.

Sleep: CRAPPY-which is why I look so tired in this week's picture. No matter what I do, I can't get comfortable. Or my hands fall asleep. Or I have to pee. Or I have HORRIBLE heartburn and am fumbling through the dark to get the Tums. Or I have insomnia and can't for the life of me fall asleep.

Best moment this week: Having Noah with us to celebrate Christmas! (Not physically here, but you know what I mean!)

Movement: He is still doing daily aerobics! Every once in a while, he will really kick me hard in the ribs and that HURTS!

Food cravings: Fruit-any kind!

Gender: Boy!

Labor signs: None-thankfully!

Belly button in or out: OUT!

What I miss: Being able to walk from my car to Target's front door without feeling like I just ran a marathon!

What I am looking forward to: Getting my hospital bag packed in the coming weeks!

Weekly wisdom: Ignore the stupid comments you hear from people telling you how big and fat you are. They come from sweet old ladies that don't mean any harm or naive little twits that don't know any better. Try to brush the comments off.

Milestone: Nesting has officially begun!

As much as I can't wait to not be pregnant anymore and have my body back, I think I'm going to miss being pregnant. I love always having Noah with me and feeling him move around. But I also can't wait to hold him and kiss his chubby cheeks!

My feet are now permanently swollen. My shoes are stretched out. I hope they don't stay big after Noah is born! AND this is really weird, but the creases in my armpits have turned dark. Like when you wear a black shirt all day and come home and take the shirt off and your armpits have black fuzz on them? You know? That's what it looks like, but it's not fuzz! The only thing that I can figure out is that I just have so much blood right now that it's just showing more through my skin? Remember when I was in the hospital and my blood was like dark purple/black when they drew it? That's what I'm thinking...

Anyway, back to work tomorrow morning after a four day weekend. My feet have really enjoyed this little break! Luckily I get another four day weekend starting Thursday!
