33 Weeks with Baby Cashew

33 Weeks

How far along: 33 Weeks

Due Date: March 1, 2015. But docs will induce in mid February, around 37-38 weeks.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: up 20 lbs

Maternity clothes: I haven't known anything besides maternity clothes for a while now...

Stretch marks: I probably have accrued a new one, somewhere on my belly. Ironically, with my biggest kid, M, I didn't get any stretch marks. With my littlest one, Brielle, I gained two. I love my stretch marks, regardless. They show I gave life, and you can't really beat that.

Sleep: I thankfully pass out every night. The time varies, but I'm almost always up at around 2:30 to go to the bathroom.

Best moment last week: same as every week.. M kissing my belly and my husband feeling Cashew squirm around.

Movement: I think Baby Cashew has changed his schedule, because he still likes to party at around 11:45pm-12:45am, but now he's more calm in the morning time.

Food cravings: I've been more into apples lately. I went through a phase where I loved peaches, and then lately it was bananas. I also love chocolate. But that's not a craving...

Gender: sweet little baby boy!

Baby Stats: Baby Cashew is the size of a honeydew melon/pineapple. Baby Center says Cashew should be weighing around 4.5 lbs, but I'm pretty sure he's bigger than that. His length should be around 17-19 inches. I kind of extremely dislike the "should be" around this or that statistic..

Symptoms: I have had what I'm guessing is round ligament pain in my thighs. I limp because of the pain/discomfort. My kankles are swelling at the end of the day a little. Overall, I can't complain! (knock-on-wood!)

Labor signs: None thankfully!

Belly button - in or out? In!

What I miss: Just moving around with ease. Soon enough, I'll say I miss feeling the bumps and hiccups from the inside.

What I am looking forward to: everything baby!! Also, my husband cleared out Brielle's room to turn it back into a nursery. Just a few more boxes to move to the office room. And as a surprise, my husband brought M's changing table into the nursery. There's a changing table in the nursery! It makes things a lot more real!

Next doctor's appointment: Tomorrow. I'm annoyed with my high risk doctor's office because I feel like they are too relaxed with my pregnancy. I haven't seen them since I was 30 weeks, and typically at 28 weeks, one is seen every two weeks. At a high risk office, it should be more often for appointments... I'm excited to see where we are in the pregnancy tomorrow, regardless!

And, this was at 32 weeks...
