33 weeks

HOW FAR ALONG: 33 WEEKS

WEIGHT GAIN: 30 lbs. – 193 total. I’m so nervous for when I see the number 200 on the scale. That’s really going to freak me out!!!!

SLEEP: NOT AT ALL! Ugh! I can’t find a comfortable position. I lay on one side but then 5 minutes later my hip hurts like crazy. So I turn to the other side but in the process I’m out of breath and also realize I have to pee. This goes on ALL NIGHT LONG. People weren’t kidding when they said this was the “uncomfortable” trimester.

MOVEMENT: I don’t feel as many kicks but instead just wiggling. I’m sure she’s running out of room in there. It still amazes me when I see her bum or leg pop out of my side or by my ribs. It still reminds me of the scene from Aliens. But I could watch it all day long…it makes me smile.

FOOD CRAVINGS: Nothing in particular (aside from Ice). I can’t eat as much in one sitting so I try to eat smaller meals throughout the day. When I forget and totally mow on a meal, I’m extremely uncomfortable for about an hour and end up making these loud, long burps. Another wonderful, sexy side effect to pregnancy.

STILL SICK: Nope

SYMPTOMS: I’ve officially felt the Braxton Hicks. They freaked me out at first. I just thought Lizzy was extending all her limbs in every which direction. But when I told my friends what I was feeling, they informed me it was the lovely BH. I thought they would hurt more but instead they are just super uncomfortable. Uncomfortable seems to be my word of choice in this post. I can’t stress it enough…

GENDER: Girl! We finally made our move to our new home and I’m slowly working on the nursery. Eddy put together her bassinet on Saturday and I was able to hang up most of her clothes. As soon as I put everything together I’ll take some pics. But I’m slow…so this probably won’t happen till after she’s born

MOOD: So extremely happy! We have a new home that I’ve been having so much fun decorating! But I have to add nervous too. Since I’m getting so close to delivery I’m starting to freak out when I think of labor.

LOOKING FORWARD TO: Finally meeting this little munchkin!

I have to add my major pregnancy psycho moment this past week…

Eddy was promoted to Specialist (YAY!) and they wanted to give him a ceremony. So he told me that on Friday at 1530 I should come to his company so I can be the one to pin him. Unfortunately my phone broke about a week ago and I haven’t taken it in to get it fixed. Friday afternoon I decided to get some things done so I left the house at noon. Apparently the commander decided last minute that he wanted to let everyone go home early and have the ceremony at 1300 instead. But Eddy had no way of contacting me and even tried driving around to try and find me. I pull up to his company right at 1530 and he runs out to the car. “Where have you been?!?! I’ve been trying to find you for hours. Everyone is waiting on us. We were supposed to have the ceremony at 1300. But everyone was stuck here waiting for you to show up!” As I was getting out of my car and waddling (yes, waddling) to the door…I just started balling. I tried so hard to make it stop but it just kept getting worse. In the midst of my crying I was trying to say, “I didn’t know. I’m sorry. Does everyone hate me? Are they all mad at me? You can’t talk to me like this when I’m pregnant!!!” But it all came out as a jumbled mess. I ended up going to the bathroom sobbing and making everyone wait another 10 minutes so I could compose myself. Eddy felt so bad and never meant to make me cry. I’m pretty sure I freaked him out big time since I haven’t done anything like that this whole pregnancy. After the ceremony on the way home we laughed so hard about the situation that it brought us BOTH to tears. Awww..the joys of pregnancy emotions
