Week 33

Well we have a very mixed bag of a week. I was jogging along doing fine until Thursday. Then I weighed myself and realized I was hitting the 30lb mark before I wanted too. (I am 1 lb off, but let's get real.) And then the kids were pretty horrible all day and I didn't get to rest at so I was hurting too. At that point, the world sucked and I really wanted to just be all done. So ya, not the best week ever. I want to be finished and I know that this is the longest mile, but knowing doesn't help feeling completely ALL DONE with being pregnant. I will gather myself up and proceed. The other thing that has made this week harder was I woke up at 1 two nights in a row and didn't fall back asleep for hours. I am SO tired. And I have two kids so that means naps are not an option when and where I want them. Oh well. I'll survive. 

Week : 33

What I love: Being a week closer to the end. It's not very long. It's not very long. It will go by in a flash...... it will... it will.... :)  My new anniversary ring! Love it! It's such a beautiful addition to my solitaire. I have to get it all put together and then have the baby so I can wear it, but I have it! Yeah! I love how excited Emma & Jack are about their baby and Jack especially it very cute sining to her in my belly and telling her he loves her. It's really cute. 

What I hate: Sleep deprivation fog. Being uncomfortable pretty much all the time. And not knowing when it will be over. That is probably the hardest thing for me. The not knowing. I wish I had a solid feeling to go on at least. Like, "I'm going to deliver at 39 weeks." But I don't. There is only a feeling of, "Gosh, I don't want to be in that kind of pain again... oh well." 

What I miss: G&T's. Sleeping really well. On my belly. Being non hormonal. I literally wanted to sit and cry the other day. I didn't because if you open that door to self pity, it's really hard to get out of it. 

What I’m looking forward to the most: Being able to bend over. Not feeling fat anymore. (That will be months down the road, but it is worth thinking about.) Sleeping without worry about if I'll wake up and be awake for hours. 

Sleep: Well, it's starting to go down hill. I don't like this part much. 

Bra Size: C

Wedding rings on or off: Off. So sad. 

Weight: 172  Weight Gain: 29lbs

Worries: That I'll never sleep again. :) 
Developments: It seems like BH contractions are continuing to come and go. I have a bit more pain in my hips, but considering how much weight is on them, that is not surprising. I also can't breath at all when I lay on my back. It's very annoying. I remember sleeping on my back a lot with Emma but this baby is not allowing that at all.

Things of Interest:

I can't think of anything interesting. I already told you about the ring, sooo that's about it. :) We do have our big party next weekend and that is something to look forward too. 

Mood: Good at the beginning of the week....falling off at the end. If I can get some sleep, I'll be doing  a lot better. 

Movement: She is all up in my space. Under my ribs and thumping me constantly. 

The belly (and the button!): I think my belly button is almost completely flat now. Nice. 

Measurements: Chest:  Waist:   Midsection: 41.25  Hips: 41.75  Thighs: 

Exercise: 5 Times. I walked one day because of the sleep deprivation, but all the other days were good, hard work outs. I love that. 

Eating: Back on track. No sugar during the week and focusing on my protein. Though there are improvements to be made. 

The weekly pics: 

Skin: Your baby's skin is becoming less red and wrinkled.

Skull: Your baby's skull is quite pliable and not completely joined. This will help him ease out of your relatively narrow birth canal.
