How far along: 33 weeks!
Size of baby: This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds (heft a pineapple) 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.
Maternity clothes: Definitely Are a must at this point.
Sleep: Up peeing 2-3 times a night...getting out of bed is quite a chore now.
Best moment of the week: Getting to see our pumpkin AGAIN...unfortunately I was in the ER. :( Knowing that we might have a possible delivery date too since she is breech..
Movement: She's a squirmer! I can feel her when I'm sitting or laying down. Now's she's breech! Her head is under my ribs...which is pleasant...
Symptoms: Ligament pain now in my Pelvis. makes it hard to walk.
Food cravings/aversions: Anything Sweet.....
Gender: It's a Girl!!
Belly button in or out: My belly button is non existent now!
Stretch marks: Oh, I've had those before baby!
What I miss: Being able to breathe....
What I am looking forward to: Meeting me new niece or nephew
Weekly wisdom: Nothing ever goes the way you have it planned.
How is Mommy Feeling? More and more uncomfortable!
How is Daddy Feeling? Was moved by seeing her face during the ultrasound.
Total weight gain? 22lbs...ick!
The Belly? It's official...I have a big bump ;)

How far along: 32 weeks!
Size of baby: By now, your baby weighs 3.75 pounds (pick up a large jicama) and is about 16.7 inches long, taking up a lot of space in your uterus. You're gaining about a pound a week and roughly half of that goes right to your baby. In fact, she'll gain a third to half of her birth weight during the next 7 weeks as she fattens up for survival outside the womb. She now has toenails, fingernails, and real hair (or at least respectable peach fuzz). Her skin is becoming soft and smooth as she plumps up in preparation for birth.
Maternity clothes: Definitely Are a must at this point.
Sleep: Up peeing 2-3 times a night...getting out of bed is quite a chore now.

31 weeks
How far along: 31 weeks!
Size of baby:Your baby's the size of a squash! He's about 15.2 to 16.7 inches long and weighs about 2.5 to 3.8 pounds this month. He's getting so big, he's probably crowding your lungs.Welcome to week 31. Can you believe all five of baby’s senses are fully developed? He also keeps getting smarter. That’s probably good to know, since you might actually feel a little dumb. You’re not! It’s just that many moms-to-be find themselves acting absentmindedly during the third trimester. Some say that “pregnancy brain” isn’t a proven physical ailment, but can you think of another time in your life when you’ve had more on your mind than now? We’re guessing no. That right there is enough of a reason to be so forgetful. From 31 weeks on, you’re bound to feel a lot of the same symptoms -- some may get worse, some may become bearable. And you might start to have more trouble getting around as you get heavier and feel more and more short of breath. Remember not to push yourself too much. It’s good for you and baby to get some exercise, but definitely take breaks to rest as much as you need.
Maternity clothes: Definitely Are a must at this point.
Sleep: Up peeing 2-3 times a night...getting out of bed is quite a chore now.
Best moment of the week: Spending the day on Saturday shopping for our little one and then putting together the nursery. :)
Movement: She's a squirmer! I can feel her when I'm sitting or laying down.
Symptoms: My body hurts...all my joints are killing me. :(
Food cravings/aversions: Anything Sweet.....
Gender: It's a Girl!!
Belly button in or out: My belly button is non existent now!
Stretch marks: Oh, I've had those before baby!
What I miss: Sleeping normally and not having to pee.
What I am looking forward to: Seeing our maternity photos! :)
Weekly wisdom: I'm the little engine that could...."I think I can, I think I can"
How is Mommy Feeling? This is getting a bit too real...
How is Daddy Feeling? Like we've turned a corner to the homestretch.
Total weight gain? I haven't weighed myself....
The Belly? It's official...I have a big bump ;)

30 weeks...
How far along: 30 weeks!
Size of baby: Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)
Maternity clothes: Definitely Are a must at this point.
Sleep: Leg cramps have subsided...but it could be better.
Best moment of the week: Enjoying my mom's shower and seeing all our family and friends. PLUS our awesome maternity shoot! OH and meeting my BEAUTIFUL new niece, Brynn! :)
Movement: She's a squirmer! I can feel her when I'm sitting or laying down.
Symptoms: My boobs hurt....
Food cravings/aversions: Anything Sweet.....
Gender: It's a Girl!!
Belly button in or out: My belly button is almost non existent now!
Stretch marks: Oh, I've had those before baby!
What I miss: Sleeping normally and not having to pee.
What I am looking forward to: Seeing our maternity photos! :)
Weekly wisdom: Oh to have my old body back....I'm ready!
