How far along: 33 w, 2 d.
Total weight gain/loss: A lot. I think my face is getting fat.
Maternity clothes: It's getting colder and I really need new pants - all I have are one pair of jeans - the rest are capris or skirts or dresses. But I really don't want to buy new mat pants this late in the game.
Stretch marks: I think those are racing stripes on my inner thigh... I've decided to call them racing stripes instead of stretch marks, because racing stripes are cool.
Sleep: Still awesome.
Best moment this week: Um.... I don't know.
Movement: Lots.
Cravings: Nothing really.
Aversions: None
Gender: I'm still not convinced one way or the other.
Labour Signs: Still having those really mild PMS-type cramps every now and then, but they're so light I don't even think about them. I forgot to mention it to my doctor at my last appointment - must remember to tell her on Monday.
Belly Button in or out: In
What I miss: My wedding rings. Feeling cute. Buying cute bras (I nearly had a meltdown when she measured me at a 42 C yesterday. I don't believe it though - I bought 3 new bras in a 38B - just with wider straps and a wider band.) Not having a hard time putting on my underwear and pants.
What I'm looking forward to: Another "Taking care of you and baby" class tonight, and Saturday's "Labour & Delivery" class.
Weekly Wisdom: We had Nick's entire family over for the weekend to celebrate his 30th birthday, and I was absolutely drained by the time they left on Sunday. So this week's wisdom is that even if everyone else is bringing the food and doing most of the work, it's still going to be too much for the really pregnant girl to have 8 adults & 4 kids over for dinner, with 4 adults / 3 kids sleeping over after.
Symptoms this week: Swelling, the heavy belly feeling comes and goes, and for the first time in the pregnancy, I feel like my body is holding me back a bit. Oh, and you know what's awesome? I snore now. Awesome. (though secretly, I think it's about time Nick learns how much it sucks to have a bed partner who snores all. the damn. time.)
Milestones: Nothing major this week.
Baby’s senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through your (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, baby can now recognize and react to simple songs… time to start practicing your lullabies! Growth (at least inside your womb) is starting to slow, and you may notice baby descend into your pelvis at the end of this month.
