Week 33 - Month 9

Week: 33

Baby:

Total weight gain: 22 pounds! My legs are feeling it!!

Sleep: Sleep is getting more difficult. Kyle is over his sickness and we are back in the same room. I don't feel like I am getting up as much to go to the restroom, but I am struggling to get comfortable. My body pillow is the most wonderful thing ever, but it is so difficult to roll over at night. I am one of those sleepers that tosses all night, so I wake up every time I try to start rolling over. As I am getting larger (ouch!), the comfort level is decreasing!

Favorite moment of the week: My favorite moment of the week was finally getting the crib back and putting it together. We also got the room organized the way we want it to be. It was such a great feeling because I feel like I am running out of time (even though I technically have 7 weeks left). Here are some pictures of the progress so far:

It's still a work in progress, but we are getting closer every day.

Miss anything? Like I mentioned above, I am missing sleep. Luckily, with being home, I can sleep in some. I miss having a consistent nights sleep where I don't wake up 400 times. I know...I know...people say this just prepares you baby, but it is still hard.

Movement: Kason moves all the time. I love to watch him move around and I wonder what I part of him I am seeing when he shoves around in there. 

Cravings: Unfortunately, cravings for anything have passed right now. Eating in general doesn't sound very appetizing due to the reflux. I just wish I could find something that wouldn't bother me at all. If I could, I would eat that all day. 

Anything make you queasy or sick? Eating....haha! As the weeks are beginning to wind down, eating is getting harder and less desirable. I hear people say that the reflux goes away almost immediately after birth...let's hope for that!! =)

Gender: Boy!! Kason Dale Basham!

Labor signs: None this early!

Symptoms: The round ligament pain is increasing over the past week. I have moments where it truly hurts my stomach muscles to move around. It is hard to go from sitting to standing and vice versa when I haven't moved for a while. My obgyn thinks there may be some Braxton Hicks mixed in with the round ligament pain.

Mood: My mood was not the best this past week. Up until this point, I have been doing really well and I have been in good spirits. This week was hard though. Kyle was busy all week...having to be at various functions and taking call. He also left Friday and was in Chicago through Sunday. This left me by myself a lot more than usual and gave me time to start panicking about running out of time to spend with him and get things done for Kason's arrival. I think it is just starting to hit me how close we are at this point. Kyle and I went on a true date when he got back Sunday night and that helped me so much. We were able to talk about my fears and just spend time together. 

Looking forward to: My next dr. appt on Tuesday and my mom is coming for Labor Day! I am so excited to get to spend some time with her before Kason arrives. We need some girl time and I need her help getting things wrapped up for Kason's debut. 

Freak-out moment of the week: My only freak-out moments consisted of being here more by myself (like I mentioned above) and working myself into a tizzy because of the short amount of time we have. 

Thankful for: A husband who will take me on dates when I am feeling down and worried.
