I swallowed a watermelon!

How far: 33 weeks


Weight gain: 14+ lbs, although yesterday I began to feel huge... like I swallowed a watermelon. Brad says it looks like I did too!

Baby weight: It's getting cramped in there! Gunney is now 17 inches from head to heel and weighs about 4.25 pounds

Sleep: "With midnight bathroom runs, leg cramps, heartburn, and your basketball-sized belly, it's no wonder sleep is elusive." - a direct quote from my 33 week pregnancy email... this sums it up

Best moments this week: JULIUS CAESAR on a plain bagel... Our weekend at the lake with the Beach Girls & Boys, Drinking a Busch NA (non-alcoholic beer) while floating in the lake, deciding to switch Real Estate agents and putting the house up for rent, a RELAXING Sunday night together- driving aimlessly through Charlotte to one of our favorite restaurants- the Crepe Cellar

Movement: OH yes. Per his Dad's instructions, he is kicking the heck out of me. He is such a good listener.

Cravings: This morning I craved... a bagel! Surprise! I pretty much crave whatever food anyone mentions though

Labor signs: I don't know if it was contractions, but he was certainly making his presence known this weekend- I don't really know how to describe it

Breakdowns: Trying to stay sane. Excited for Mikey to get here. Ready for his job situation to fall into place- he is working so hard!

Belly Button: The top might want to come out

What I miss: Feeling cute and pregnant. Right now I feel gigantic and pregnant

Looking forward to: Our 33 week checkup on Friday, Our maternity photo shoot with S. Turner Photos

Milestones: He 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.
