Week 33

How far along? 33 Weeks & 2 days

Total weight gain: 21 lbs+
Maternity clothes? I'm wearing leggings and yoga pants most of the time. Even those are getting a little tight!
Stretch marks? none so far
Sleep: I'm getting use to my sleeping patterns - waking up at least 3 times to use the bathroom, and maybe a few times between that to adjust and get comfortable again. I'm up to using 4 pillows now
Best moment this week: Daddy putting together the bassinet, and getting fabric to make her a baby blanket!
Miss Anything? After our usual weekend plans - hanging out with our friends and having a long week of studying, I've definitely been wanting a nice cold Guinness to relax, but the wait is totally worth it
Movement: There is so much movement! At least having the hiccups every few hours, and kicking/rolling around in there like crazy when I'm going to bed. She is definitely a night owl
Food cravings: I'm always craving fruits! something that's refreshing, and chocolate of course. I don't indulge that much on the sweets though, just my usually chocolate milk! 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Can't think of anything off the top of my head that has grossed me out lately, but I'm sure there has been something
Gender: Girl
Labor Signs: Not exactly labor signs, just what I think to be braxton hicks
Symptoms: Cramping and tightening of my stomach, and very rarely there will be a sharp pain the goes down one side of my legs. My ribs are getting to be more sensitive to her kicks, but they're not totally painful - just uncomfortable. 

 Belly Button in or out? slightly poking out. The feeling of it doesn't bother me as much as it did before it got out
Wedding rings on or off?  On - I'm surprised (and so thankful) that I've not had any problems with swelling. I'm told it will eventually happen, but with only roughly 6 weeks left, I hope I can avoid that

Happy or Moody most of the time: So Happy! I'm always thinking about how it's going to be and it brings butterflies to my stomach, but I know it's going to be even more exciting when she really is here
Looking forward to: Next baby appointment, making her blanket, and getting the other items we need for her

I'm so excited to make her baby blanket! After hours of shopping and not finding exactly what I want, I decided it's best if I just make a blanket for her that is perfect. Of course I started my search on Etsy and found grey chevron and pink minky fabric, courtesy of Shelly Morgan.

I've also been debating on what other items I could make myself rather than spend the extra cash to by it already made. I'm seriously considering making my own crib bumper and skirt, however, since I am only just a beginner at sewing, I'm nervous that it won't turn out. I've found plenty of tutorials, and potential fabrics I would use, but I just can't get myself to take the extra step and get it! I do have a while to think about it more since we won't have her nursery and crib actually set up until we move in August. Wherever that may be! 

Daddy did put up the bassinet already! It's really cute, simple and gender neutral so we are able to use it again. 

Babies R Us

There are a few other things we need to do/buy to get ready for her arrival. 

Pack the hospital bag

Wash and fold all of her clothes

Purchase a Diaper Genie (Absolute must have!)

 Purchase baby towels, receiving blanket(s), baby soap, bath

And of course pack up the apartment and get ready to move! I'm sure there will be other things I'll think of, but I feel so lost still since this is our first child and don't have much of an idea of what we're doing. haha. 

I'm pretty sure we are set on baby clothes for quite sometime though!
