Pregnancy: 33 weeks.  Count down- 7 more to go...

Weight Gain:   I don't weigh myself in between dr. appts. so- still up 21 pounds total- for all i know

Next appointment:   Next appt. will be at 34 weeks.  On Aug. 29th. (at 8:15am).

Sleep:  Welp, I'll tell you what, i am ready to sleep in a KING size bed tomorrow night at the hotel for Hayley's wedding.  I'll be sober after a wedding and i might bring my preggo pillow.  I'm looking forward to the wedding too. ha! But i am excited for a BIG bed...mine is getting smaller and smaller

Gender: we shall see

Names:   Girls first name set- middle name... nope.  Boys name: nope.

Feeling/ Symptoms:  Aching back...baby kicking my ribs, i don't know were my ribs went.  sitting at my chair at work---- NOT FUN.

Movement:  Lots and lots of movement. I love it.  I played some Paul Simon to my belly the other day, and baby really liked it. ;)

Belly:   Large and in charge- i'm officially waddling. 

Maternity Clothes:   I finally got the dress i am wearing to Hayley's wedding! It's great, and its PINK.  All the other pink dresses made me look like a fat toddler.. Cute Maternity dresses can be found, don't give up!  Pictures from the wedding coming shortly..

Stretch Marks:  Left hip a lot, makes me sad.  I think i' have to say good bye to bikini tops forever.  Can't even think about it now- but for after when i loose all my baby weight and then some!!.... bikini's are out...  Stretch marks are not cute.

Best Moment Last Week: having that dang dress fit me and look presentable!  Finding my shoes for the wedding at the goodwill, along with more baby books.  I'm telling you folks- Goodwill for CHEAP baby books.  singed up for Lamaze classes (happening in september).  Getting my oven fixed, and baking brownies.. low point.. eating them.. ha!

Nursery:    Put up the bird decals- and andrew got started on the panels that he is painting the birds on.  Pictures to come when all is finished in there. 

What I Miss:  Not going to the bathroom every 30 minutes. My back not hurting.

- Wedding tomorrow!  
- My next Dr. appt.  
- Seeing Adair for her baby shower
- My 5 year anniversary!
- Girls Trip next weekend- relaxing and veggin' with my ladies.

What the professionals are saying:

This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds  and has passed the 17-inch mark. He's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and his skeleton is hardening. The bones in his skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for him to fit through the birth canal. (The pressure on the head during birth is so intense that many babies are born with a conehead-like appearance.) These bones don't entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as his brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood.

Baby is the size of what fruit/ Vegetable?   Pineapple
