33 Week Bump Date

How far along? 33 weeks 6 Days (1/1/14)

Total weight gain: I have gained a total of 18 lbs. 

Maternity clothes? Maternity Clothes all the way!! I do use some of my pre-pregnancy t-shirts, but as far as bottoms maternity is all I can get into as of now. 

Stretch marks? Well the ones on both my thighs are getting pretty bad. I also noticed a few on my left side of my tummy (they are pretty low and I had to see these in the mirror), and of course the same ones on the girls. 

Sleep: Once I hit the bed, I'm OUT!! I do wake up 2-3 times a night to use the ladies room but fall back to sleep pretty quick. 

Best moment this week: Going to our NST/BPP testing and seeing our sweet boy. It was such an Amazing feeling to watching him on that screen practice his breathing. I think its going to be so neat to see the difference a week can make in his growth. The tech also told us he has some hair, and pointed it out to us so that was pretty exciting as well. 

Miss Anything? As of right now I really miss eating sweets! Due to my gestational diabetes I have to limit everything and I miss being able to splurge. 

Movement: Oh Yeah Tons!!!  

Food cravings: Sweets, Sweets, and More Sweets!! 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nothing so far this week. 

Gender: IT'S A BOY!!

Labor Signs:  Braxton hicks have been hanging around lately. I am also starting to feel some pressure down below. 

Symptoms: Leg cramps in the middle of the night; tons of pressure; my back has been killing me on my right hand side. It is very uncomfortable to sit, stand, and even walk. (I went into L&D on Tuesday 12/31/13 because I was feeling very uncomfortable at work. It was New Years Eve so it was pretty busy, but I left work early because my doctor didn't want them to be contractions. I ended up going to get checked and had some contractions but they would come and go and they were not close together. It turns out I had a UTI and those back pains might be muscle related all due to pregnancy. They hurt so bad I want to cry!! They did tell me to keep an eye on them and if I start running a fever and the pain gets pretty intense to go into the hospital, as these are signs of a kidney infection.) 

 Belly Button in or out?  It's officially an outtie

 Engagement Ring on or off?  Both my Aggie Ring and Engagement Ring are still on!! :)

Happy or Moody most of the time: I have been extremely happy!! 

Looking forward to:

Spending the New Year 33 Weeks pregnant. It's so crazy to think that once the New Year is here we will be meeting our little man close to the end of the month. I can not believe how fast time has flown. 

Thoughts: 

4 More Weeks Till we Meet Caleb!! I am so excited that Caleb will be here soon!! I feel the need to nest and don't really have much right now so it is so hard. We still need to purchase quite a bit of items and hopefully we can get them before he arrives. I have been getting really nervous. I turn 34 weeks on 1/2/14, and this is the time I lost Isabella. I have been trying to keep myself busy, but I know that when Sunday morning comes it might all hit me again and I might be pretty scared. I'm so glad to be getting monitored every Monday and it seems that I will have a total of 2 visits each week now. I'm praying that our baby boy arrives safely in our arms and I also pray for the strength to get me through this tough week. It brings back so many memories, that we are trying to make positive out of it all.
