Week 33

Week 33

Fruit/Veggie/Item

the weight of a pineapple

Size

This week Sawyer weighs a little over 4 pounds and has passed the 17-inch mark.

Baby Changes (Source: www.babycenter.com)

This week your baby is rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and her skeleton is hardening. The bones in her skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for her to fit through the birth canal. (The pressure on the head during birth is so intense that many babies are born with a conehead-like appearance.) These bones don't entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as her brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood.

Best Moment this Week

going to the doctor today and hearing Sawyer's little heartbeat:) Also, a friend gave us a bunch of cute little girl clothes and it was very neat to look through them and hang up a lot of them in Sawyer's closet :)

Gender

GIRL! Sawyer Grace:)

Movement
Sawyer is head down and kicking me in the ribs all the time :)

Food Craving

MILK, ice cream, apples, popcorn & jalapenos

Sleep

sleeping hard, but having to get up to use the restroom pretty much every single night!

What I am looking forward to

maternity pictures next week (they got rained out this past weekend!) and my first baby shower on March 19th!! :)

Symptoms

was having bad acid reflux, but Tums have helped to remedy that :) Now I just have to use the restroom all the time… ;)

Weight

I went to my doctor's appointment today, and I have gained 27 pounds total! Whew! In the last couple of weeks I have gained about 2 pounds a week…so if I continue at this pace, I will gain 41 pounds when it's all said and done…WOW! Haha. As long as I can lose it, I don't care, but I pray that I will in fact be able to lose it. Haha!!

To Do

I have added this new category so that I can check things off as I finish it. I am a sucker for to do lists! :) Here are some things I can think of right now that I'd like to accomplish before Sawyer arrives:

-rearrange/settle nursery furniture after glider/ottoman is recovered (I bought a glider/ottoman from a friend, repainted it, and now am waiting to get the cushions back with their new light pink fabric!)
-scrapbook my pregnancy
-continue filling out Sawyer's baby book
-hang Sawyer's curtain and things on the wall in the nursery
-get both cars detailed and washed
-clean out the garage
-wash Sawyer's sheets and clothes
-get carpet cleaned at home
-have garage sale
-pack hospital bag :)

I am sure I am forgetting important things here - if you are a mom and know of something that I am likely to forget, please leave a comment!! :)
