33 Week Bump

 

How far along: 33 weeks

Gender: Girl

Weight gain: 31 lbs.

Maternity clothes: I LOVE the Liz Lange maternity line at Target.  It is affordable, doesn't shrink upon washing and most importantly extremely comfortable.  My only suggestion is to try on each piece before purchasing b/c I have found a size discrepancy.

Sleep: I have been sleeping pretty well considering my size.  I've been putting a pillow between my legs at night to help with back pain due to the weight of my belly when sleeping on my side.

Best moment: It's a toss up between only gaining 1/2 lb at last doctor's appointment and having a girls dinner night since I missed out on the last one. Love these ladies!

Worst moment: Overall I feel very good but I seem to get tired quite easily these days. I guess that is par for the course. Also, my heels have been killing lately from the extra weight.

Miss anything: Fitting into all of my old clothes. My wardrobe has become very limited due to the size of my stomach. The over the belly jeans make my stomach dry and itchy so they have been thrown to the wayside leaving the same 2 pairs of leggings on rotation.

Movement: She must love church music b/c each week she has a dance party in my belly.

Cravings: Apple juice & fudgsicles...not together of course! But I ate a whole box of fudge popsicles last week., usually 2 in a sitting.  Can't wait to see what my weight gain is this week...ahh!

Looking forward to: My baby shower in a few weeks.  I don't like all the attention on me so my wedding shower was a little stressful, but technically this shower is for Liv so I am pumped for the big day.  Also our home is quite modern with glass tables and white leather couches so we decided to redecorate in preparation for a little one.  Operation baby proof took place this weekend and we completely overhauled our entire main floor by purchasing a microfiber sectional, an upholstered ottoman with built in storage, an area rug, a distressed wood kitchen table and end tables.  Our house is going to feel brand new once all these changes are delivered and I couldn't be more excited.
