Your baby at 33 weeks according to The Daily Kick -Parents.com : Week 33: What’s Happening Now?
- She has a sleep cycle that is becoming more predictable
- Her strong fascination with my rib cage is actually a good thing, it means she has assumed the head down position and her feet are exploring this new area of interest.
- Baby is about 4.5 lbs and 19.5 inches long
- She is about the size of a medicine ball
- Urinary leakage..........................nope
- Pelvic pain......................................yep!
- Shortness of breath.........................yesterday, yes!
- Constipation and gas...........when I cheat on my gluten free diet, yes!
Cravings: I really need to stay away from regular bread, but have had a few pieces here and there...just can't resist garlic bread! As long as I stick to gluten free pastas and flours I am good. As soon as I cheat, the symptoms begin, the bloating, gas, constipation...etc. Dulcolax has been my friend this week, having to use it once again for the second week in a row. Hopefully this week I will be able to resist the temptation! I also need to get a high fiber cereal and drink more prune juice apparently. I am also going to ask about an anti-gas relief medicine.
Dislikes: Strong smells...UGH! Everything seems to be magnified! Dealing with my toddlers potty accidents, and other gross smells have my gut churning!
Likes: Still wearing my wedding rings. I actually have to make sure they DO NOT slip off every time I wash up. You see I really needed to resize them, but since she is a honeymoon baby, I decided to wait until after her birth to resize.
Weight gain: Between 1-2 lbs.
Physically: She is a contortionist and makes my entire belly sway , move and morph into different shapes. I think I am going to give birth to a transformer...LOL...She shocks us all when she decides to stand up and do the wave randomly! Still fit almost all my maternity jeans and pants except for one pair. I still need to purchase nursing bras and shirts.
Emotionally: Had a tear explosion yesterday, just feeling overwhelmed and they just started flowing!
Labor signs: increased braxton hicks this week along with that tight rubber band feeling that comes and goes around my hip area. Still feel like my groin muscles are bruised and have been trying to be more cautious about how I move in and out of beds and chairs.
Coming up: A Midwife apt. that I have had to reschedule three times now...Everything seems to happen right before I have to leave...potty accident, temper tantrum, etc.
Siblings: My three oldest keep exclaiming how fast this pregnancy has gone compared to my last one two years ago. I feel the same....it has flown by!
Check it off the list: Bought her Co-sleeper, well actually put it on layaway, which made me feel more ready than ever...We also finally had a friend take some maternity photos at a local park that I can not wait to see and share!
Goals.......
- Car seat purchase
- Baby shower....Dec. 1st
Highlight of the week: Maternity photos....we had a cute little vintage Christmas theme going on and had a lot of fun posing and being silly!
Scripture speaking to me this week: Phil. 4:13...."I CAN do all things through Him who gives me strength."
Prayer requests: To not believe the voice of the enemy when everything starts to feel overwhelming and piled up.
