33 weeks

How far along? 33 weeks

Size of baby: He's about 4 lb and has passed the 17-inch mark.

What's baby up to? He's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and his skeleton is still hardening.

Total weight gain: At my last doctor visit, I was told it would be great if I could work on maintaing my wight the remainder of my pregnancy, which I've been trying to do. However, traveling and celebrations have done me no favors... +29 lb

Pregnancy symptoms: All of them, but the swelling is ridiculous. I thought I had swelling before, but experienced it on a new level this past weekend. Even my face got bigger. Thankfully, it's come down a bit and I'm hoping that's what some of the weight gain this past week is from.

Maternity clothes? Yes, but still able to wear some normal t-shirts.

Stretch marks? Nope, but I'm thinking I might get some on my feet!

Sleep: Did ok this week, have been adding more and more pillows to the collection to get comfortable.

Best moment this past week: We had a great time in Texas last weekend. Got to see a lot of family and friends we havent seen in ages. Baby was showered with more gifts and got A LOT of Texas A&M gear, whoop! Here's a pic of the suitcase we came home with full of baby goodies.

Miss Anything? My ankles

Movement: He's still moving a bit but they are starting to feel a little more subtle the bigger he gets.

Food Cravings: Watermelon. Love. it.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing new.

Labor sigs: No

Belly Button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: On, but stuck on at times. Not sure how much longer they'll last.

Happy or Moody: Happy but definitely have my moments of moody.

Weekly Wisdom: Do your thank you notes as soon as you can after the showers while you still have a little free time! And, do any and all your shopping as soon as you can for items you want to look around for. I never thought I'd say this, but I no longer enjoy roaming the stores and shopping. My feet hurt and I'm tired.

Looking forward to: Baby shower number 3 is today. It is our last one and with the hubby's family!

Texas Baby Shower

Here's a few pics from the baby shower, most of them courtesy of my cousin. A huge thanks to her for playing photographer for the day. It was a great day and wonderful shower hosted by my aunt. It was truly amazing and so perfect, baby C is so loved.

Email me if you have any pics yourself from the day, I did a horrible job taking any myself - thanks!

32 weeks

The three of us on our way to a Dallas wedding

How far along? 32 weeks

Size of baby: He is about 3.75 lb, almost 17" long, about the length of a zucchini

What's baby up to? Baby's skeleton is hardening up, except his head and he's still putting on the weight.

Total weight gain: +26 lb

Pregnancy symptoms: Swelling, swelling and more swelling. Heartburn is a mother and I'm sooo over it.

Maternity clothes? Yup.

Stretch marks? I dont think so, I think what I saw a few weeks ago really were/are spider viens.

Sleep: Eh, its getting harder to do.

Best moment this past week: Had the first baby shower for baby C last Saturday afternoon. It was great to see some wonderful ladies and celebrate his upcoming arrival. He is already so loved and got some great swag, see...

Miss Anything? Normal-sized feet

Movement: Lots going on, it is getting more and more noticeable from the outside. Seeing his kicks and rolls is crazy!

Food Cravings: I'm actually starting to loose my appetite and not that interested in food. Here's a pic of two things I picked up on a lunch time shopping trip, I think they pretty much sum up where I'm at.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Blueberries give me heartburn. Who knew?!

Labor sigs: No

Belly Button in or out: In

Wedding rings on or off: On

Happy or Moody: I'll go with emotional. It has also been an emotional week, we have had two losses, one was the mother of a close friend that was very sudden and the other was a friend and coworker of the hubby's who took his own life. My heart aches for their families and I pray they can all find peace.

Weekly Wisdom: If you travel this late in your pregnancy, be ready for some SERIOUS swelling. No joke, my feet were the biggest I've seen them yet - photo below - yuck. And don't take the travel size Tums, bring the big bottle!

Where did my ankles go?

Looking forward to: We are in Texas this weekend for a wedding tonight and baby shower tomorrow. Excited to see family and friends!

30+ years ago, we were babies too

Worked on gathering some baby photos for an upcoming shower and thought I'd share a few. Here I am in all my cuteness...

And here's the hubby in all his cuteness....
