Week #33

How far along: 33 weeks! If I went into labor in 4 weeks... I'd be considered full term! This is too crazy. 

Total weight gain: 30lbs up total still. 

Maternity clothes: Indeed. I'm wearing a new maternity shirt in the photo actually. 

Stretch marks: No new ones from what I've already stated. the front of my belly looks great!.. so far...

Sleep: What's that? Last night was awful. I tossed and turned the WHOLE night. I just cannot breathe no matter what angle or side I sleep on. 

Best moment of this week: Everything I ordered last week, came in the mail this week! It's like Christmas getting packages. Everything was the right product and turned out great!!

33 weeks pregnant

"We’d tell you to take a deep breath and relax, but it’s probably tough to do either of those at 33 weeks. It’s probably tough to be comfortable at all, since you might be feeling overheated on top of your other symptoms, too. But you’re probably getting super excited to meet baby, and we can’t blame you. Week 33 is a good time to make sure you have a safe car seat for baby -- go ahead and install it already. Sure, you might not see baby for another month, but if you have an early surprise arrival, that’s the one thing you really need to have ready." - thebump.com

Your baby's the size of a durian!

He weighs about 4.2 to 5.8 pounds and measures about 17.2 to 18.7 inches. And he may grow up to a full inch this week -- amazing.

your baby at 33 weeks

• He's keeping his eyes open while awake.
• He's also starting to coordinate breathing with sucking and swallowing.
• His bones are hardening.
• And he going through (more) major brain development -- that's one smart baby!

 pregnancy symptoms at 33 weeks 

• Hot! Your metabolic rate is through the roof, and that may leave you feeling overheated.
• Headaches, due to hormone fluctuations, stress or dehydration.
• Shortness of breath -- though you're probably used to it by now.
• Forgetfulness and clumsiness, also known as baby brain. This is totally normal.

 your must-do's

• Install baby's car seat, and get it checked by a professional.

 your nice-to-do's

• Stock up on postpartum supplies.
• Read up on newborn care.
• Call your hospital to find out if there's an in-house lactation consultant and ask how you can be sure to have her help after delivery.
• Get the nursery in working order.

Our carseat is already installed and ready to go. The base that is. Im keeping the actuall seat in the house. :D
