33

I  am: 33 weeks, 7 more to go! I'm trying to wrap my head around the fact that we could possibly have a baby NEXT month. If not, next month is the last full month of pregnancy. This is coming to an end quick.

Baby is the size of a(n): durian. What the heck is that? Who made this up?

I've gained: 18.

Maternity Clothes: Yep!

 

My mood: Still tired. I'm pretty emotional too. I'm ready to meet my little girl!

Gender: baby GIRL, Avery Laiken Gibbs!

Cravings: I'm still wanting sweets and of course water and dairy.
 

What I'm missing: Comfort. I'm pretty uncomfortable these days. No position is comfortable for long, and if I find one that is, Avery usually has other plans. And I miss being able to wait a few minutes if I need to. It seems like everytime I change positions I have to pee. And forget standing up, it's a rush to the bathroom everytime.

 

Highlights/ Exciting moments: We had a follow up ultrasound Friday. We were released from the specialist because there are no longer any concerns with her growth.  She was up a whole 2 pounds in 4 weeks as is now estimated to be 4lbs 12 oz.  She could possibly gain up to half a pound for the next few weeks, so that's a pretty good sized baby! Aaand, she flipped and is in the head down position!! No c-section for me (knock on wood) as long as no other complications arise..which I'm confident they won't.

We also had two showers on Saturday.  My friends hosted one in the afternoon. So amazing! And I had one with Darrell's family that night, also amazing. We got so much stuff. The back of Darrell's SUV was loaded down and our living room was full once we went back through it all. We are so blessed!!

We also had our maternity pictures this weekend. Can I just say JayCee Photography is amazing?!? I've seen them all and love them! I'll get a CD tomorrow and do another blog entry with them.

Here I am tonight at 33 weeks. I'm super tired after a long day and a nap...looking rough.
