Week 33

Of course I have to start with my baby sprinkle that my mom hosted this past weekend. I truly enjoyed every minute of it, sharing in the celebration of our little baby. We are so blessed to have such great family and friends! For all of you who were able to make it, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making the day so special for me and the baby.

Thank you to all who brought diapers!!! We're are definitely set for a while. I went through all the gifts this morning, and to say that we are blessed is an understatement. Thank you so much for all of the wonderful gifts. We cannot thank you guys enough!!!

Diaper wreaths welcomed guests



Baby animal cookies, baby face cupcakes & chocolate covered pretzels

My beautiful Mama

How cute is my Nana?!? So so cute! 

My childhood partner-in-crime, my cousin Janet! I love her so much & I'm so glad she was able to come down from Chicago to spend the day with me!!!

My niece Kylie, Laura & Deven
(PS: I remember when Laura was pregnant with Deven. Time sure does fly!!!)


My sister-in-law Courtney & Laura
(Friends since high school)



Rory

Rory had his own partner-in-crime, his cousin Ethan, to run around with at the baby sprinkle. They were way too cute together!

A rare moment when I got them to sit still to take a pic



Pregnancy

This past week has been a bit of a struggle with the pregnancy. As the baby continues to grow, the pain in my ribs becomes more painful and frequent. The baby is also making it extremely difficult to breathe at times. My poor little sweet pea is running out of room.


Not sure if I'm getting a cold or have allergies, but I'm not feeling great today and this picture shows it
By the way, the baby feels like the size of the pineapple I drew, rather than the size of an actual pineapple.


How far along? 33 Weeks & 1 Day
Total weight gain/loss: 28 lbs 

Maternity clothes? Still both maternity and non-maternity. 
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: It's OK. It's not great, but it could definitely be worse.
Best moment this week: My baby sprinkle! I had so much fun!
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss Anything?
 Just moving with ease.
Movement: Lots!
Food cravings: Ground beef!?! Not sure why
 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Eating too much at one time
Symptoms: Still having the same symptoms, plus my bump itches like crazy around my ribs. With all the pain in my ribs and the intense itching near my ribs, the baby is moving them for sure!
Have you started to show yet: Yup. 
Gender prediction: I'm sticking with a girl
Labor Signs: Nope and hopefully not for at least 3 more weeks
Belly Button in or out? Still half & half. It's a strange little thing
Wedding rings on or off? On 
Happy or Moody most of the time: Grumpy a lot of the time. I try and be happy, but being uncomfortable just makes for a grumpy pregnant girl.  
Looking forward to: Organizing all of the wonderful gifts we received and sending out the thank you cards. Yes, I still send thank you cards!
