Baby Size Compared to a Fruit...33-36 Weeks (8 months)

Baby’s senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through your (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, baby can now recognize and react to simple songs… time to start practicing your lullabies! Growth (at least inside your womb) is starting to slow, and you may notice baby descend into your pelvis at the end of this month.

33 Weeks

How far along? 33 weeks
Total weight gain/loss? At my last dr. appt., I had not gained any weight. I am pretty sure I have gained a few pounds since then. I am going to assume 24-25 lbs total.
Maternity cloths? I can still wear some of my regular shirts but they are starting to creep up and my maternity pants are getting a bit tight. I might have to invest in a few more items.
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep?I was sleeping pretty good and then last night I did not sleep well at all. It felt like I was waking every few minutes to roll over. I have had a bit of a cold, so I think the congestion might be keeping me up also.
Best moment last week? We had a growth u/s and she is measuring right on track, approx. 3 lbs 13 oz
Movement? Lots of movement up in my ribs...ouch!!
Food cravings? Nothing really this week...well maybe Starbucks Iced Coffees
Gender? A little girl
Labor signs? I have been having some mild, period like cramping but it is not consistent. I am going to assume it is not labor.
Belly button in or out? The belly button is still in but it is getting shallower and shallower as the weeks go by.
What I miss? A lot of stuff but nothing really specific
What I am looking forward to? My first shower is tomorrow. Let's hope it goes off without a hitch.
Milestones?

Baby Size Compared to a Fruit...29-32 Weeks (7 months)

Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though -- as you’ve also probably noticed -- they don’t necessarily coincide with your own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments.

30 Weeks

How far along? 30 weeks
Total weight gain/loss? I am going to assume 23-24 lbs.
Maternity cloths? It is funny, all along I have said I wear maternity clothes but in reality, I wear maternity pants and can still wear regular shirts.
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep?Ha...I think I am being prepared for night feedings. I fall asleep on the couch around 8pm and sleep pretty good. Richard wakes me to go to bed and it takes awhile to get comfortable and fall back to sleep. Usually, I get up several times during the night to let the dog out, go to the bathroom or get a drink. I woke before my alarm and usually can't fall back to sleep. :(
Best moment last week? We had our 3d u/s last week. There is a picture where I think she looks just like me dad. We also realized she is stubborn. She was asleep during the u/s and no matter how much we moved/poked her, she would not woke up.
Movement? Lots of movement in the morning and evening
Food cravings? Sweets, chocolate and ice cream
Gender? A little girl
Labor signs? Nothing this week
Belly button in or out? In
What I miss? Not having anxiety.
What I am looking forward to? My shower in a few weeks.
