33 Weeks

Monday April 15th we were 33 weeks pregnant!

How far along? Today we are 33 weeks 6 days

Baby Size: Baby Colin is the size of a pineapple

Total weight gain: Lets call it 21 or 22 pounds. It varies every day based on water retention- all week it was back and forth between 21 and 22 pounds. Still on track for a healthy weight gain. :)

Maternity clothes? I'm all over the place. I look best in maxi dresses- all non maternity. I wore a maternity dress to work Thursday and based on pictures from  my surprise work baby shower- it was TOO small! Baby bump is getting HUGE! 

Stretch marks? Prayers to the stretch mark gods daily- none so far!

Sleep: Still hit or miss. Some nights its great and others not so much. The humidifier and a pillow between my legs definitely help me get comfy. 

Best moment this week: My surprise baby shower on Thursday at work. My co-workers did such a great job surprising me. Once again, Baby Colin was spoiled rotten! We got our jogging stroller, our rock n play sleeper and two fifty dollar gift cards- one to each of our registries. 

See what I mean about the dress? 

Miss Anything? Feeling like a normal person, lol. Vague answer but I'm starting to resent everyone that can stand up, get up, move around with out a struggle. I am also majorly missing running. 

Movement: Still movin' and groovin'!

Food cravings: Loving anything refreshing. I think its the springtime weather! Lemonade, water with crushed ice and lemon, salad. I also love my husband's yummy pancakes on the weekends! Eating some as we speak! :)

Anything making you queasy or sick: My husband said it best yesterday- I'm just picky all around. Still don't like meat or seafood but I was able to eat shrimp scampi this week- and ENJOYED IT!

Gender: BOY!!

Labor Signs: Nope. Baby still needs to stay in there and cook for a few more weeks. He needs to pack on the pounds!

Symptoms: Serious lower back stiffness. I've also noticed some more water retention that normal. I'm in the process of chugging water to see if that helps. 

Belly Button in or out? Still at a halfie status...practically an outie now! I miss my cute little belly button. 

Wedding rings on or off? On

Mood: Overall I'm in a great mood. I'm loving the bond that hubs and I have and enjoying the time we are spending together before Colin's debut. With that said, when my back is killing me, it is hard to not be a bit grouchy. :-/

Looking forward to: Meeting our son!  I'm also really looking forward to our mini baby moon in two weeks!!!
