Baby #2: Week 33

I can’t believe that a month from now I will be full term!

• Always tired. Sleep isn’t great at night, but it’s not horrible. I try to take naps some days, and they’re really hit or miss.
• Back pain when I’m on my feet for a long time.
• Haven’t bothered with my contacts in weeks. I’m so sick of wearing my glasses, but I can’t stand having my eyes burning either.
• Nausea has only popped up once or twice this week.
• I’m not usually very hungry in the morning, then I’m starving at lunchtime, but by dinner time I have low appetite again. Most nights I’m hungry by 10 or 11 for my late night snack.
• Some days I feel like I just ache all day, and other days are not as bad. It’s always uncomfortable at night when I try to roll over. I’ve noticed it’s worse on my left side too.
• I think I only had one day of painful BH contractions. The other days they’re painless but persistent in the evenings.
• Varicose veins are still visible but I think they’ve faded a bit.

Maternity clothes: All the time. Packing up one pair of maternity jeans that are feeling snug.
Stretch marks: no new ones
Belly button in or out: in but shallow
Sleep: Depends on the night
Best moment this week: Getting things prepared for this baby! I washed most of what I want washed for the baby (all newborn clothes, blankets, bassinet sheets, Boppy cover, etc), and it all smells so good! I also have two freezer meals made and started packing the hospital bag.
Miss anything: Sleeping soundly
Movement: Lots of movement, especially later at night (after 10pm).
Cravings: Nothing new. Still having apples and cheese almost every night for a snack. Also enjoying frozen yogurt many nights.
Looking forward to: My first OB appointment in Little Rock tomorrow!
