Pregnancy Log: 33 Weeks

Everyone loves a good comparison! 

How far along? 33 weeks 
How big is baby? 4+ pounds
Total weight gain/loss:  +23
Maternity clothes? Yes. 
Stretch marks? Nope.
Sleep: Can't get enough, but it's mostly been good.
Best moment this week: This conversation with the Bean: 

Me: OUCH!!!
Bean: What happened, Mama?
Me: I kicked Sammie's ball with my bear feet and he bit my toe. I shouldn't have done that.
Bean (sitting on the floor): Come down here Mama.
Me: What?
Bean: Come down here and sit on my lap. I will "snug" wif you and make it feel better. 
Have you told family and friends: Yes.
Movement: Yes, yes, yes...
Food cravings: Ice cream and peanut butter
Anything making you queasy or sick:  I hate most strong smells. 

Other symptoms: Starting to feel extreme muscle tightening while doing exercise, walking, etc. (Contractions?!)
Have you started to show yet: Um, just look at the photo. 
Gender prediction: I used to think boy; now I think girl. Who knows, really :)

Labor Signs: None.
Belly Button in or out? I think of it as a turkey timer...
Wedding rings on or off? Off more than on.
Happy or Moody most of the time: Antsy
Weekly Wisdom: For the working mom: Be kind to yourself in the work place and make sure that you give yourself time and space to prepare to be out for your leave. And remember...leave is LEAVE. You only get one opportunity to be with your baby - take it!
Milestones: Hmmm....even some maternity clothes don't fit. Is that a milestone?
