week number thirty-three

this has been a very very very very long week.  it has been smokin' hot here in the west and although i know that i shouldn't complain about the heat it totally sucks when you're eight months pregnant.  there were a few nights when i actually couldn't cool down and had beads of sweat dripping from places i didn't know even sweat.  hot weather like this isn't unusual, but it is when it lasts for an entire week straight ... not even a thunderstorm was insight to cool things down.  just heat, heat and more heat.  i know that in six months i'll be cursing the day i complained about the heat, because i'll be complaining that it's minus thirty degree and blizzarding outside.  just the way it goes.

how far along? thirty-three weeks

total weight gain:  went down a pound this week to 166.  but i think the belly got bigger.  my pants are starting to no longer be comfortable and actually feel constricting  

maternity clothes?  currently the only clothing items that fit the ever growing baby belly.

stretch marks?  zero!

sleep: it is hit or miss these days.  the way i figure it i'm just getting prepared for the sleepless nights that await me in the very near future.  

best moment this week:  hanging out at our friends cabin.  although liam had meltdown after meltdown (welcome to the two's) we still had an absolute blast.  i loved watching him explore everything!

miss anything?  pretty much everything non-pregnancy related.  i'm really looking forward to being finished with this pregnancy and meeting our little girl.  maybe it's because i know it will be the last time i will be pregnant ... i'm not one who loves the whole pregnancy thing and i haven't been shy about it.  i love the amazing reward at the end, but i could do without all nine months.  

food cravings:  not really anymore, actually my appetite has decreased significantly.  i can't fit big meals in my body anymore ... no more room.

anything making your queasy or sick: still having heartburn so if i don't have tums handy then i don't feel to great, but otherwise nothing.

gender: girl

labour signs: tons of braxton hicks and they're starting to feel like they are getting stronger and stronger.  

symptoms:  this past week with the heat came the super swelling.  it looked i had hobbit feet for the majority of the week and my fingers felt like little sausages.  cooler weather is in our forecast.  hurray.

belly button in or out? in

wedding rings on or off?  rings have spent the majority of the week on our dresser instead of my fingers.

happy or moody most of the time? kind of so-so this week.  i was uncomfortable due to overheating and not sleeping very well.  but i did take a nap everyday when liam went down so i think that helped with the potential for moodiness.

looking forward to:   liam's second birthday is tomorrow!!  we're keeping it low key this year and only doing a family party.  we just have too much on the go with starting to pack up the house and me being super preggo.  doesn't matter though, it's still going to be special for him and us.
