33 Weeks

I'm 33 Weeks today. Everyone keeps telling me I'm in the home stretch now. Sure doesn't feel like it. Seven weeks seems like a LONG time right now. I feel like a blimp so imagining 7 more weeks (or longer if baby #3 is like baby #1 and #2) feels like an eternity!

As of last week I have gained 32lbs this pregnancy. But I'm short so it feels like about 60lbs to me! Thankfully I do not have any swelling. I do have pregnancy masking on my face that is getting more noticeable. I had this with both the boys. My stomach space is clearly being squished and my appetite is starting to go down a little. I have not been sleeping well the past week or so. Last night I was awake for 3 1/2 hours...agghhh!

The baby is doing great. He/she still moves a lot and it's clear to see by my stomach moving back and forth. Baby is head down and most likely facing toward my left. This is pretty clear by the fact that the right side of my stomach is much more firm and sticks out a bit more. The left side seems kind of hollow if you push on it. Isn't that wild! My pregnancy book (dusted that sucker off again this afternoon) says the baby is about 4 1/2 lbs now.

First and middle name for a girl is set. First name for a boy is set. Any suggestions for a good boy middle name?? We are still in debate on that one. This week I washed the infant carseat cover and bouncy seat. I got out my totes of clothes but ran out of energy to go through them. Instead the boys have just been crawling all over the totes for the past 2 days. Washing my neutral baby stuff is my goal this week.

I can't believe I'm going to be using the infant carseat for the THIRD time already. I clearly remember the day we opened the box getting ready for baby #1. Wow, that's a reality check! And watching Xavier try to strap himself into the infant seat the other day was hilarious!
