33 Weeks

How far along? 33 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 25 pounds . . . I don't think I'll stay below my goal weight :(

Maternity clothes? I wore a maxi dress almost every day this week . . . or my gaucho pants.  Although a little outdated, they are so comfy and I am so happy I saved them a few years ago. 

Stretch marks? Not yet.

Sleep: Sleeping great! 

Symptoms: See below :)

Miss anything: My traditional spring/summer wardrobe . . . especially heels and wedges.

Movement: Lots of pressure and kicking my ribs.  

Food cravings: Still obsessed with fruit. . . frozen fruit, fruit smoothies, fresh fruit

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope

Gender Prediction: Boy 

Labor Signs: None

Belly Button in or out? Still in . . . but very flat.

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!

Best Moment of the Week: Our doctor telling us that he will be surprised if I make it to my due date  

Looking forward to: Having a few months to focus on baby.  I have been so busy with school that baby hasn't been the focus.  Luckily in about 3 days I will be able to focus on putting the finishing touches on the nursery, installing our car seat, taking a couple baby classes, packing our hospital bag and starting to plan our baby announcements.  

Baby Update:

This week I had my 33 week appointment.  Everything is still going smoothly but, it looks like baby Cooper is starting to think about his or her arrival.  Baby has already turned (which is why I have been feeling like I'm getting kicked in the ribs), and the doctor told us to be prepared starting on July 3rd.  After the 3rd they will no longer stop labor and he thinks it will be very unlikely that I actually make it to my due date.  For first time parents only 10% of babies are early, 5% are born on their due date and 85% of first babies are late.  He expects baby Cooper to be born anytime after the 15th.  Eeek!
