Total weight gain: Meh, I'm over it. Soon she'll be here and I can start seeing the numbers go down for a change!
Clothes: Thank goodness the end is near! Fewer and fewer things are fitting.
Food: Nothing unusual to report. I think my appetite has decreased a little bit though.
Energy: Low most of the time. Carrying such a heavy belly around makes for a tired momma!
Sleep: It depends on the night. Pillows, a corn bag, and tylenol pm have become my nightly friends. I'm looking forward to not being able to sleep because I'm taking care of a baby instead of not being able to sleep because my body aches!
Belly: I'm still carrying her pretty low but she's sticking out pretty far now as well. There's pretty much no hiding the "popped" belly button these days either.
Movement: Very consistent and strong. She wakes me up in the morning moving around, has several little play sessions throughout the day, and LOVES to have dance parties in the evening. She still has the hiccups a lot too. Sometimes they're so strong they shake my whole belly!
Excitement: We're headed to Lee's Summit this weekend for another baby shower. The weather has been kind of crazy lately, so hopefully everyone can get there alright. This will probably be our last out of town trip for quite a while.
Doctor update: Blood pressure, weight, heartbeat, and fundal height are all still looking good. As of 35 weeks 5 days she is still high and no dilation yet. My doctor said that so far she's still on schedule for around the 19th!

Week 33
Total weight gain: 29 lbs. I only gained 3 lbs over the Christmas holiday, so I guess that's good.
Clothes: Nothing that interesting to report. My sister got me a new sweater for Christmas which is very cute.
Food: I had to have cheesecake with cherry topping the other day while we were grocery shopping. It was one of the very few random cravings I've had.
Energy: I think I've just gotten used to not really having as much energy. I'm not working anymore so I've had plenty of time to "chill."
Sleep: Pretty darn good. My sleeping patterns have definitely changed now that I have to get up at least once during the night to use the bathroom. I'm officially sleeping with three pillows and a body pillow. The pillow cocoon is the way to go!
Belly: It's been looking different lately. I think that she may be dropping based on the way my belly looks and some lower abdominal discomfort I've been having.
Movement: You'd think the kicks would slow a little now that she's getting bigger but they haven't really. The other night I video taped my belly while she was moving. It was crazy!
Excitement: We had maternity pictures taken over the weekend. They turned out great! We also started our baby classes this week. On Monday we had the first childbirth class. Scottie and I both saw our first birth...that was interesting. Last night we had the infant lifesaver class. It was very informative, I'm so glad we took it!
