There are only SEVEN more weeks left in this pregnancy!! Nothing
makes time fly like children, even if they are in the womb! Here’s a Bump-Date
about how the pregnancy is going so far…
How Far
Along: I’m 33 weeks, only 7 weeks to go! Our baby is due on June 19
Total Weight Gain: about 20 lbs
How Big is
the Baby: the size of a Honeydew – 19 inches, 4.5 lbs
Baby
Movements: These have continued to be consistent – I can feel and often
times *see* the movement! I love feeling him moving around and when he’s really
active I’ll leave my hand on my belly to feel the movement from the inside and
outside. It’s truly amazing!
Nursery
Update: I recently posted a Nursery Update post with all the
recent changes to the nursery. Since then the only additions are the clothes
and goodies I got at my *Surprise* Baby Shower at work!
Food
Cravings / Aversions: I have craved pasta off and on during this
pregnancy. I was happy to satisfy that craving in NYC two weeks ago
since being in Little Italy is almost
like actually being in Italy. But I had pasta for dinner last night too! Funny how this *craving* seems to come and
go…
How I Am
Feeling: I feel great! I have
shortness of breath and sometimes it feels like I’m gasping for air. I have
heartburn which I never had before. And if something falls on the ground I
actually consider leaving it there instead of attempting to pick it up… I have
had a couple of Braxton Hicks contractions during the past couple weeks as
well.
Thoughts
on Delivery: I will soon be interviewing doula’s to participate in the birthing
experience. I am excited to meet with them and hopefully pick one very soon! I
have a breast feeding class *today* which I’m looking forward to and this month
Honey and I start our birthing classes. I’m hoping we’ll learn a lot… I suppose
it’s because the labor and delivery is coming up so soon and the fact that we have no
idea what that will be like, it makes the whole labor and delivery experience
quite mysterious to first-timers!
What I
Miss: Sushi. Wine. My Waist.
What Are
We Talking About: We have been talking a lot about the
delivery and what that will be like, as well as what life will be like when
Baby Parker is actually here. In addition to that we’re talking about the baby
showers… my first shower is *this weekend*!!!
Worst Part
So Far: The insomnia is strange. The heartburn is unpleasant. But
probably the worst part so far has been the Braxton Hicks contractions. Such a
strange feeling!
Best Part
So Far: The best part is probably *seeing* Baby Parker move! There are
times when I’m sitting still and my bump just jumps! I also love hearing my
little nephew say Parker’s name and pointing to my belly when we ask him where
Parker is. So precious!
You look great!!!
ReplyDeleteYour bump is so cute! Can you believe only seven more weeks?! Crazy! You'll do great in labor and delivery. It's such an amazing thing. I miss my waist too :)
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute, growing bump! I can't wait to hear about the breastfeeding class, it was probably much more helpful than I was. :)
ReplyDeleteYou DO look fantastic! You will do great through L&D since you took such great care of yourself throughout this pregnancy. You and I are having the exact same symptoms, it's so funny! But I've not had any BH's yet, thankfully. I just get the leg cramps. I hear ya on missing your waist!
ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic! That pasta looks amazing. Presley and I have been munching on a veggie pasta with pesto for a few days, but know I want cheese ravioli with pesto! LOL
