33 Weeks

How far along? 33 Weeks.
Symptoms:  Feel very pregnant, sore, huge, clumsy.  Classic 3rd trimester symptoms. 
Total weight gain/loss: +26 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Yup, exclusively at this point.
Sleep:  Well, Nick gave me the cold that I blogged about last time and it beat me up pretty good.  Sleep became nearly impossible for the last week.  Luckily, it seems to be leaving me now!
Best moment this week: Christmas!  Even though I was sick it was great to see Nicholas have fun opening his presents and playing with new toys. 
Movement: She is very active.  Movement is visable from the outside too.  She seems feisty and seems to get cranky if I sit in one position very long.
Food cravings:  Nothing really.  Often hungry but nothing tastes very good. 
Gender: GIRL- Her name is Haley Miranda.
Labor Signs: none.  BH contractions though.
Belly Button in or out?  Out.
What I miss:  Being able to get up out of a chair or get onto the floor without feeling so huge!
What I am looking forward to:  My parents are coming to visit today.  They were supposed to come yesterday but their flight was delayed.  They will be here for new years.  Also looking forward to getting this next week at work over with- its our year end close and will be insane.  Luckily, we close the books in 4 days so its a fast and furious week, but then its over. 

31 Weeks

How far along? 31 Weeks.
Symptoms:  Tired, sore, feeling very pregnant.  Still feeling the braxton hicks contractions.
Total weight gain/loss: +25 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Yup, exclusively at this point.
Sleep:  Waking up at least 2 times most nights to pee.  Finally broke down and bought a Snoogle pillow which has made things a bit more comfortable but I am still waking up kind of sore and achy.
Best moment this week: Not that I like Nick being sick, but he has some kind of cold/chest congestion today and all he wants is Mommy.  Makes me feel good when he wants extra cuddles and love from Mom. 
Movement: She is very active.  Movement is visable from the outside too.  She seems feisty and seems to get cranky if I sit in one position very long.
Food cravings:  Nothing really.  Often hungry but nothing tastes very good. 
Gender: GIRL- Her name is Haley Miranda.
Labor Signs: none.  BH contractions though.
Belly Button in or out?  Out.
What I miss:  Being able to get up out of a chair or get onto the floor without feeling so huge!
What I am looking forward to:  Appt tomorrow- just a regular appt.  This week will be busy at work as we are getting ready for the two weeks of holidays after.  Having a mini Christmas party for my staff at my house next weekend, so we will be busy cleaning and getting ready for that. 

29 Weeks

How far along? 29 Weeks.
Symptoms:  Tired, sore, feeling very pregnant.  Starting to have some braxton hicks contractions.
Total weight gain/loss: +22 lbs.
Maternity clothes? Yup, exclusively at this point.
Sleep:  Waking up at least 2 times most nights to pee.  BH contractions woke me up last night.  Also having crazy weird dreams, so the sleep I am getting is not terribly restful.
Best moment this week:  Have had a really great weekend with my Nicholas.  He has been in a really good mood and a lot of fun.  Very lovable and lots of hugs and kisses for Mommy.
Movement: She is very active.  Movement is visable from the outside too.  She seems feisty and seems to get cranky if I sit in one position very long.
Food cravings:  Nothing really.  Actually most food sounds kind of gross.  Was craving mexican today but we went and got burritos and mine was gross.  I barely ate it.
Gender: GIRL- Her name is Haley Miranda.
Labor Signs: none.  BH contractions though.
Belly Button in or out?  Out.
What I miss:  Being able to get up out of a chair or get onto the floor without feeling so huge!
What I am looking forward to:  Appt tomorrow- just a regular appt.  I did pass my glucose test with flying colors the week of Thanksgiving so was pretty happy about that.  Otherwise just looking forward to Christmas.  We put our tree up after Thanksgiving and Nicholas loves it.  He loves to point at the different colored "balls" and touch the ornaments.
