Week 33!

The Kicker is now a honeydew with 7 weeks left! His senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through your (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, baby can now recognize and react to simple songs… time to start practicing your lullabies! Growth (at least inside your womb) is starting to slow, and you may notice baby descend into your pelvis at the end of this month.

Total weight gain/loss: Lots.

Maternity clothes? Yes and the pants are mostly driving me nuts.

Stretch marks? Not that I have noticed lately.

Sleep: Getting harder and harder. I routinley wake up two too three times in the night already.

Best moment this week:

Movement: Strong and regular. :)

Food cravings: anything sweet but especilly almond danish from Maliki's Bakery in 12 corners.

Symptoms: Hip pain, mood swings - again. Some fatigue due to waking up a few times in the middle of the night.

Gender: Still a boy.

Labor Signs: None yet

Belly Button in or out? What belly button?

What I miss: Not having to worry about what I do and it's effect on the baby. I really need to live in a bubble.

What I am looking forward to: I don't know.

Weekly Wisdom: Don't move while pregnant talk about stress!

Milestones: Another biweekly appointment done though I'm glad we are not doing internals yet!
