As week 33 comes to a close I sit and watch my stomach move around like crazy much like this picture I posted to my Facebook:
Really, that's kind of what I've been doing this week. Sitting around watching my belly move around like crazy... Down side to being OCD is running out of things to do baby wise.. Teagan's room is done.. I've washed all the clothes she has already and hung them back up, I even have her mini crib in our room all ready to go... So I sit and wait lol. It is good to know that I have some baby showers coming up that will give me some stuff to do (more laundry) and things to set up (hopefully!). But in the mean time... see above picture haha.
We celebrated a buddy's birthday in the beginning of the week and got to catch up with our friends. It just seems like the last couple weeks we hadn't got to see each other because our schedules were always conflicting for some reason the last few weeks. The hubby's parent's came down for a day visit in the middle of the week and had lunch with us. Then I ended out the week by doing a belly cast. I've got pictures of the cast on my Instagram for those of you who want to see it. (it actually turned out a lot cuter then I thought it would!)
Developmentally:
Teagan is about 4 and a half pounds and between 18 and 19 inches long (depending on if you are going off the book or app). She continues to move around ALOT and her favorite activity is seeing how far she can bend my ribs.
I'm continuing to get bigger in the tummy as she grows but that's about it. I haven't really gained anywhere else yet. I ask the hubby if my face looks bigger and he insists it doesn't so we'll see if I get the pregnant lady face in the next few weeks!
Symptom Check:
So heartburn has been my constant symptom (you all know this by now) but I've started to notice when I'm hungry I get it. So I'm wondering like in my 2nd trimester I would get nauseous when I was hungry if I'm now getting heartburn if I'm due to eat something... hmmm more heartburn testing to commence I guess.
Does being stabbed from the insides by your baby count as a symptom? Because if so I have this too! Teagan I'm pretty sure is trying to remove my lowest right rib.. its defiantly bruised and half the time I have to lean to the left while sitting to relieve the pressure/ pain in my rib.
Back pain: this is another one that keeps popping up when I'm sitting, the muscle on the right side of my spine, right in the middle of my back ALWAYS cramps up when I've been sitting for like 10 minutes.. I'm fine when I'm standing, but sitting has been interesting (especially with the rib thing.. these two combined.. I look super funny sitting down).
Still don't have cankles!
Still have a belly button! (barely) It's almost even with my belly at this point, but that's only when she's pushing on that part of my belly.
Question time!
People keep asking me if I'm nesting yet.. I'll have to say no considering pretty much everything is done (except for the stuff I'm getting from baby showers, and then the purchases needed to supplement what I don't get) and now I just get to sit and wait... Did you nest? How would you describe nesting?
Upcoming this week I have another doctor's appointment and then it will be every week until she decides to pop out. I also have a chiropractor's appointment too to look forward to :) Less then 6 weeks to go (if she comes right on time.. but she'll probably nest in there forever until she breaks my rib then digs her way out)!
Heres a couple fun pics, we've been practicing with the dogs for our upcoming maternity pics and I think they may need a little more practice (not to mention my hubby's photography skills could use some work... poor Bruno got chopped out of the pic!)
Until next time!
Bre and Teagan (the bump)
