How Far Along: 33 Weeks
Weight Gain: I am scared to look…Plus I am not sure I could see over my stomach to read the number anyway.
Maternity Clothes: Yes. Such a sad week since I had to start back to work and actually wear those clothes I’ve bought.
Stretch Marks: No yet, but I am interested in becoming a spokes person for all the different brands of stretch mark creams I have tried…Palmer’s Coco Butter, BioOil, Mother’s Friend… I can give customer reviews on all of these.
Sleep: Sleep is becoming more difficult. I find it hard to turn over in the bed and I am up 3 to 4 times a night going to the restroom….How many more weeks till this baby gets here??????
Baby Movement: Yes. I am sad to report that she is currently and has been in the breach position for some time now. The thought of a C section scares me. I know some of you are reading this and saying, “I have had multiple C sections and love them” however this is just not the method I prefer. I really do not like the idea of having my arms strapped down to an operating table when my baby enters the world. But if that is the way that the good Lord plans on her arriving there is absolutely nothing I can do about it; however until I know that for sure I am in prayer and ask you to join me in praying that she flips around within the next few weeks. Dr. Ballard recommended getting on my elbows and knees a couple of times a day because some people believe that helps babies turn to the head down position. At our appointment when she told me that Adam just laughed because he knew I would be going home to test this method. Which I have. And I use my time on my elbows and knees wisely…praying that it works. All that really matters to us is that she gets here safe and healthy, but can’t her mother get her one request granted????
Food Cravings: Nothing in particular.
What I Miss: Being able to sit around in shorts and t-shirts all day!
Looking Forward To: Seeing her sweet little face
Milestones: At 33 weeks Reese could grow up to a full inch this week alone! Between now and delivery day she could possible double in weight which is very hard for me to believe! How in the world will I get around??? Due to her increasing size my amniotic fluid has maxed out which explains why her kicks become uncomfortable at this point- there is not enough fluid to cushion the blows.
All of these lovely ladies came to our house on Saturday for lunch and they were so sweet to give us the pack-n-play we had picked out!
I thought a comparasion photo would be entertaining...

ok so you are going to think a i am a little crazy, but a nurse at my doctor's office suggested something when i was pregnant about making sure that the baby turns. (i forgot all about it until jeremy reminded me) you will have to have adam's help and just hang your head off of the couch onto the floor with your feet on the top of the couch. it makes the baby think that it needs to flip to go back to the way that she was. but please don't try it by yourself.
