how far along: 33 weeks, 2 days {less than 50 days to go!!}
size of baby: a durian fruit? – the Bump needs a new comparison for this week! {17.2-18.7 inches, 4.2-5.8 pounds}
gender: baby girl!
weight gain: up 26.5 pounds…
maternity clothes: yes! lots of leggings!
stretch marks: keeping them away with my Mustela cream!
rings: off {starting at 32 weeks}
nursery: I think it is actually done…for now. there are just a couple more things that need to go on the walls {one is on order from Etsy and the others are waiting on her indecisive parents to choose her name and to get some photos printed}! I even got all her blankets, swaddles and some clothes and gowns washed!
movement: lots and lots of movement still! I’m noticing some a little lower now…maybe she is getting cozier down in there!
symptoms: so glad I’ve been leg cramp free this week!! hydration and making sure I’m good with my vitamins must be the trick!! still having some back pain…I don’t expect this to go away as the weeks progress! I really need to keep doing my prenatal yoga {oops}!
sleep: cannot get enough…and sleeping well considering I get up 3-4 times to use the bathroom!
cravings: the holiday goodies have definitely satisfied my sweet tooth this week! not craving anything specific… {except for one moment while walking around the liquor section at the market…a cold Blue Moon with an orange sounded DELISH!}
aversions: nothing in particular…
what I miss: being able to roll over/get out of bed without it becoming a show!
best moment this week: I don’t think I can choose one! it was a very short work week and we had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas at my MIL’s on Christmas Eve and at my parents’ on Christmas day! our little girl even got some adorable presents from her family that loves her so much already! this morning we had a quick appointment with our doctor. my health and the little one looked perfectly on track! can’t wait for our last ultrasound in a couple weeks to make sure she is heading down the right way!
looking forward to: another easy work week and lots of relaxing to start of 2015…the year our little girl will be born {crazy}!!
