Baby Updates

Man soooo much stuff has happened! I have had both of my showers and D has had his man shower. D has also painted baby girl's room and both the crib and the dresser have been delivered. We got so much stuff from the showers that I can't even list it all right now. we basically got alot of diapers, alot of clothes, bath stuff, lots of blankets, lots of bibs, some pacifiers, and burp cloths, a baby food processor, bottles, a nursing cover, piggy bank, baby monitor, bath tub, grooming kits, a jj cole bundle me, her bouncer, her high chair, a diaper genie, alot of gift cards, and an oral care kit. and of course we previously had my breast pump and my mom bought the crib. D and I bought her dresser and we just ordered her co sleeper which should be here next week. A family member of ours is supposed to be buying our pack n play so we should be getting that set up soon. I'm so glad I feel like things are finally coming together.
I have a few more clothing items to get for her but I'm not in rush to get them. She needs more socks, hats, mittens, and some plain white onsies, I also need some of those big cloth diapers to use as burp cloths. 
For her room, she needs a hamper, some shelves, a few photo frames, and her bedding and room decor. I want to get a glider but that's not on my necessities list. 
 The other stuff we need is her stroller/ car seat, another base for the car seat, my moby, his baby Bjorn, possibly a swing, and some other small items that I can't think of right now.
Oh, my doctors appointment went well. She was measuring at 4.5 pounds last week, still head down. but my uterus is still measuring 2 weeks ahead. I still don't thin I'm going to make it until my due date. I just have a feeling. we will see.
The maternity photos went great! I will upload some later this week. We are going to be taking some more later this month depending on D's schedule.


Updates:
How Far Along? 33 weeks 4 days (week 34) only 46 more days left!

Symptoms: sleepy, sleepy, sleepy. I'm always tired now. And when I go to bed, I sleep like a rock. lol That's pretty much it, other than that I get some braxton hicks now and then, but they aren't painful anymore. I have been blessed to have a pretty much symptom free pregnancy. Prayerfully that doesn't mean that I will have a hard labor and delivery! Oh, I am in serious nesting mode. I want everything done like now! lol

Total Weight Gain: I'm up to 188. :( Time to start walking!


Measurement: I am measuring at 42.5 inches. I feel huge! everyone says I'm not big at all to be 8 months pregnant though.
Maternity Clothes: I am in full maternity wear. except maternity underwear. I refuse to wear those.

Stretch Marks: no stretch marks on my belly. I have two forming on my sides (one on each side) but I'm trying to keep them oiled so that they don't spread. lol. Everything is still good here.

Sleep: As I said in the section about my symptoms, I am sleepy all the time now. but I have too much to do, I don't have time to sleep!

Food Cravings: I still love toast, and simply orange juice with mango



Best Moment This Week: Having our showers and getting her room painted and furniture received.

Movement: All day long. I feel more pushing, stretching, and rolling movements, but she still gets some good kicks in there. She hiccups alot too. all her movements are much more pronounced now, to the point where hubby can feel her hiccups too! Its weird cause since she is head down, i feel the hiccups in my pelvis cause that's where she likes to wedge her head at. lol She's so sometimey though. she really only moves for me and her daddy. Oh and when we are in church. any other time someone comes around trying to feel her move, she stops instantly. lol

Labor Signs: No more painful braxton hicks! I still get them, but now it just feels like my belly get really tight and hard, but it doesn't hurt.

Belly Button In or Out? Total outtie at this point

What I Miss: I really miss sleeping on my back. I miss being intimate with mu hubby comfortably (TMI I know), I definitely miss not being in pain at this point. I still love being pregnant, and want my baby to bake as long as possible, but I'm ready to feel like myself again. absolutely nothing has changed here. lol

What I Am Looking Forward To: I'm looking forward to finishing the nursery and meeting my baby!

Milestones: I don't think I have any new milestones this week. Just glad that everything is going normally.

Weekly Wisdom: Ummmm I'm full term in 3 weeks. I am scared. lol. No weekly wisdom from me today. lol
