Holy crap. I'm behind. 33-34 weeks

My mornings: I still hate mornings. Add in some snoring and I'm pretty sure DH hates mornings now too. 

My nights: I can't sleep more than an hour at a time. Snoring is becoming a problem. Ear plugs are my friends. 

How far along: 33-34 weeks

How big is baby: Baby He-Man is over 5 pounds and over 18 inches. At this point, he's gaining half a pound a week. I'm gaining way more than that. :) 

Weight:
Starting weight: 130
Total weight gain: 35
This week: 165
 
How I’m changing: Still growing, which is a good thing. My feet have taken on a bigger size as well.

What I miss: Sleep and feeling normal. Being uncomfortable is the new normal. Pain is settling in all over and I'm getting to the "not fun" stage of when it hurts to walk, lay down, roll over, move an inch ... You get the picture. I hate to sound whiny and I'm completely grateful to be at this stage and almost done, but I will not sugar coat it. Pregnancy isn't all puppies and rainbows. It hurts sometimes and that's the truth. But I wouldn't trade it for a thing. 

Symptoms: A little more heartburn. I hope the wives tale is true and that he has lots of hair. I was bald until I was about 2 and DH had hair pretty early on as an infant so we shall see!?

Cravings: I want fruit. Sweet, delicious fruit. Strawberry season is coming up and I am so stinking excited!

Food Aversions: Nothing. I've been lucky that nothing has made me sick. 

Highlights this week: My second shower. It was amazing, as I expected. I loved having a small, intimate shower with close friends. My SIL decorated it and it was so cute in a 'lil man theme. As soon as I download pics from my camera I will show it off. 
 
Maternity clothes: Yep. Couldn't live without them.

Stretch marks: I have them on both butt cheeks but none on my belly.

Sleep: I wish. That's all.
 
Movement: Always! And now that his home is getting more limited in space and fluid, he is getting tough in his punches and kicks. Some of them really, really hurt. 

Gender: We're Team He-Man!

Labor signs: nothing except for some Braxton hicks. 

Belly button: I thought I would have an outie by now, but the innie is still holding on.

What I am looking forward to: I am having another US tomorrow just as a last sneak peak before he is due. We had to reschedule it from two weeks ago so I'm excited to see if we can get some good pictures. 

Milestones: Showers are done and organization is happening. I can't wait to get everything put in its place and ready for his arrival.
