How far along: 33 weeks
Total weight gain: 12 pounds
Heart Rate: 145 ;last week, I go back in to the doc next week.
Size and growth of the baby:Baby's movements are slowing down this week. As the your uterus gets more and more cramped, he's curled up, chin resting on his chest and arms and legs cocked. He continues to practice breathing, to open and close his eyes, and to swallow amniotic fluid. In fact, during this last trimester he will be swallowing about 4 cups of amniotic fluid a day! His taste buds have matured now and experts believe that Baby can already distinguish some of the tastes in your amniotic fluid--like onions, garlic, and certain strong spices, like cumin. Some scientists believe this pre-taste is a way to prepare a baby for the different flavors of breast milk, which also changes based on a mom's daily diet.
Maternity clothes: Getting a limited supply of shirts that are long enough and are comfortable to wear, and I'm roasting in everything.
Sleep: Not great, my hips are always stiff and sore when I wake up. Which is a few times a night
Best moment(s) of the week: We finally have nice weather!
Movement: All the time everywhere!
Food cravings/aversions: strawberry banana smoothies, furit in general and fried mozzarella sticks....
Morning sickness: back to everymorning
Labor signs: nope
What I miss: bending over and just feeling good in general
What I'm looking forward to: less than 7 weeks to go!Time to start getting stuff ready.
