Things are heating up inside as well: Baby may grow up to a full inch this week alone, and his brain is developing like crazy. Pretty soon, he'll be able to coordinate breathing with sucking and swallowing. Also, his bones are hardening, and he's started to keep his eyes open when he's awake.
Well, we graduated to a new food product...honeydew! One more fruit to go (watermelon) but he definitely feels like a watermelon already. I grow daily it feels like and Thor likes to have dance parties inside my stomach...he is definitely not a sedentary baby. Also, there is no mystery where I am carrying, huh? Straight out :)
We had an...eventful weekend. Jordan's brother (age 30!) had a stroke on Wednesday so the whole family flew out to Albuquerque to give support, childcare, and prayers. He is now home and doing great and luckily had a stroke that is easy to recover from (yes, they do exist!) He has to re-train his left hand a bit but is already typing, etc. We are all very thankful he is doing great, and now are just waiting for the doctors to determine the cause! Definitely an amazing recovery so far and we are very thankful.
I am using my last few weeks of travel-ability to its fullest with the flights last weekend and travel for work next week as well. 4-ish weeks of work left and 6-ish weeks of baby making left. Can't wait for the fun of getting ready (if I can make it through the work part alive :)) Here is an update on my progress!
- How many weeks?: 33 weeks 4 days
- Weight gain?: 24 pounds...no gain this month at all (but have an appointment this Friday and am expecting to go up a few pounds hehe)
- How big is baby?: probably around 4-5 pounds and 17-18" long
- Maternity clothes?: are getting uncomfortable now. Hence the photos in giant pajamas...
- Stretch marks?: nothing new in this department
- Sleep?: not the best sleeper lately but I think its mostly stress
- Movement?: my belly frequently looks like it has an alien in it that has dance parties. I have only actually had to do my kick counts once...every other day is a guaranteed 10 movements within an hour!
- Food cravings?: nothing good. food in general is amazing :)
- Labor signs?: nope, and lets keep it that way until I am done with work at least
- Belly button in or out?: still in but stretching
- What I miss?: my body (mostly not having limbs lodged in my ribs or random objects poking out of me)
- What I'm looking forward to?: a friend's baby shower this weekend
- Milestone?: getting the window installed in the nursery finally and just each passing week is one more week of healthy baby growth!
