Week 33

March 22nd, 2014
How far along:
33 weeks!

Baby is the size of a:
Pineapple. The doctor said he weighs 4lbs, 4oz.

Total weight gain:
27lbs on the doctor’s scale.   

Maternity Clothes?
All the way!

Stretch Marks?
None on my belly.

Sleep?
Pretty miserable. 

Best moment of the Week:
Seeing him blink on the ultrasound and our baby shower of course! (Post on that to come!)

Movement:
All the time. Some of his kicks are really painful and will stop me in my tracks!

Food Cravings:
Still Smoothies!  

Belly Button in or out:
In – barely!

Gender:
Sweet baby boy!

Symptoms:
Backaches, Rib Pains, getting out of breath easily, frequent restroom trips and new this week: swollen feet, ankles, legs and hands. 
Katie and I were sitting at an Infant CPR class, learning about choking, when I noticed that my feet were bulging out of my shoes, because they were so swollen (which hasn’t really happened before). I showed them to Katie and she couldn’t help herself but busted out laughing! We were both laughing hysterically to the point that we were crying, all in the front row of this CPR class. Yep, that was one of our less proudest moments! It’s hard to find shoes these days and my legs and ankles look like a tree stumps! We usually laugh about it, but I can also go from laughing to crying in 2 seconds flat...damn pregnancy hormones! :)

Anything Making you queasy or Sick?
Luckily not! 

Have you Started to Show yet?
How big can this belly get?   

What I miss:
Being comfortable in bed and sitting down without hurting. I can see the finish line though, so I’m hanging in there.

What I'm looking forward to:
Shopping for the rest of our baby items that we didn’t receive at the shower and organizing the nursery.

What I'm not looking forward to:
More pain.   

Weekly Wisdom:
We are blessed!


Wie weit:
33 Wochen!

Baby ist so gross wie eine:
Ananas. Der Arzt sagte, dass er nun fast 2kg wiegt.

Insgesamte Gewichtszunahme:
Der Waage beim Arzt zufolge, 12kg.   

Umstandskleidung?
Nichts anderes mehr!    

Schwangerschaftsstreifen?
Keine auf meinem Bauch. 

Schlaf?
Ziemlich miserabel.   

Bester Moment der Woche:
Als wir ihn auf dem Ultraschall blinzeln gesehen haben und natuerlich unsere Baby Shower (Beitrag dazu wird folgen).     

Bewegungen des Babys:
Staendig! Einige seiner Tritte sind wirklich schmerzhaft.   

Heißhunger:
Immer noch Smoothies.  

Bauchnabel drinnen oder draussen:
Drinnen..fast flach!

Geschlecht:
Ein Junge!

Symptome:
Rueckenschmerzen, Rippenschmerzen, ich gerate leicht ausser Atem, muss haeufig zur Toilette und ganz neu diese Woche: geschwollene Fuesse, Knoechel, Beine und Haende. Katie und ich sassen vor ein paar Tagen in einem Baby Erste-Hilfe-Kurs und ich bemerkte, dass meine Fuesse aus meine Schuhe quollen, weil sie so geschwollen waren (was vorher noch nie passiert war). Ich zeigte es Katie und sie brach in lautes Gelaechter aus. Wir lachten uns beide kaputt, bis zu dem Punkt, wo uns Traenen runter liefen...alles in der ersten Reihe vom Erste Hilfe Kurs. Ja, das war einer unserer weniger stolzen Momente.
Es ist nicht leicht, passende Schuhe zu finden und meine Beine und Knoechel sehen aus wie Baumstaemme. Normalerweise lachen wir darueber, aber ich kann auch in zwei Sekunden vom Lachen zum Heulen wechseln...bloede Schwangerschaftshormone! :)

Gibt es etwas, wovon dir schlecht wird?
Zum Glueck nicht!

Kann man dir die Schwangerschaft ansehen?
Wie gross kann dieser Bauch noch werden?   

Was ich vermisse:
Bequem im Bett zu liegen und sitzen, ohne Schmerzen zu haben. Ich kann allerdings die Ziellinie sehen, von daher kann ich es ertragen. 

Worauf ich mich freue:
Den Rest unserer Babysachen zu kaufen, die wir nicht auf der Baby Shower bekommen haben und das Kinderzimmer fertig zu stellen.

Worauf ich mich nicht freue:
Mehr Schmerzen.  

Wöchentliche Weisheit:
Wir koennen uns sehr gluecklich schaetzen!

  1. I am very happy for you guys that everything finally worked out!
    Btw - Compression stockings can help to overcome the elephant foot problem. (Probably not the most suitable hoisery for Arizona weather, but still...)

  2. You look great! That's exciting that you had your baby shower!
    I make my husband give me foot rubs to help with the swelling. ;)

    Hope you start feeling better, mama! Especially that back! It's not a fun experience!

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha.  Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
