Baby’s senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through your (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, baby can now recognize and react to simple songs… time to start practicing your lullabies! Growth (at least inside your womb) is starting to slow, and you may notice baby descend into your pelvis at the end of this month. How far along? 33 weeks
Best moment this week? Escaping the heat and going to San Francisco! Seeing a good drum corps show doesn't hurt either! :)
Movement? He can't really kick now, he'll just stick a random body part out and I feel like I have to push it back in!
Food cravings? Ice cream. That's pretty much it. Yup. Oh, and chocolate today.
Gender? It's a BOY!
Labor signs? Nope. But I still am getting those ever so much fun Braxton Hicks contractions. I feel so sore after a session of them. And, today I had some strong menstrual cramps. I thought it might have been preterm labor but figured I had no reason to be in preterm labor. Instead, we believe it's just ligaments stretching and in turn making things cramp up.
What I miss? The cooler weather, sleeping through the night, no heartburn, and still sex.
What I'm looking forward to? My friend Libby going into labor! She's 38 weeks today! Any day now she could be having her son!
Weekly Wisdom: Don't fight it, might as well get up when you wake up and make the trip to the bathroom so you can go back to sleep, otherwise it will just keep you up.
Milestones: Being 5 weeks away from 2 weeks early (which is where my family thinks baby will make his debut)
Emotions: Excited and nervous all at once with how close it's all getting!
Total weight gain/loss? Up 2 from last week, up 11 total, I've hit the double digits!
Maternity clothes? Every thing full time now. Except for unisex t shirts in size L and XL.
Stretch marks? :( Yes. More than 2 now, all near my belly button. They no longer hurt, but man does my stomach itch like crazy! Nothing seems to help!
Sleep? I wake up about twice a night now. Though not because of having to get up to use the restroom, I could be burning up, I could have heartburn... It always varies! However, generally once I'm up, I have to get up to make my trip to the bathroom. Plus, my sleep is about half asleep/half awake now. Not fun.
