33 weeks with Baby #2 [#1 vs. #2]

I feel just awful that this post is a day late but Mommy & Wife duty called me yesterday, Brandon needed to go to the doctor and ended up getting Xrays. Ryder also had his 4 year well child appointment and is doing amazing... aside from the shots he had to get. He was exhausted and fell asleep after but it wasn't nap time at school so I stayed home with him, and I was so tired but he had other plans. Ryder woke up and wanted to look at all the NEW baby toys we got from Auntie Chana and I just wanted to nap. Unfortunately when Brandon came home from work it was just for a quick bite to eat and head off to a BHJFL meeting then back again to get dropped off at his brother Matt's house for a BTNH concert. Needless to say I can not wait to sleep this weekend. I hope I can sleep this weekend.


How far along? 33 weeks (Almost 8 MONTHS) -- 7 more weeks!!

Total weight gain: I was wrong last week couple weeks it was 147, THIS WEEK is 149, 14 lbs from my pre pregnancy weight of 135 OR 24 lbs from my lowest pregnancy weight 125. Still not tracking my food, I just eat. Whenever the moment strikes me, I eat, it's been striking a lot lately. Occasionally when I stay up my body wants more food but I'll just go to bed so I don't eat too late and have a hefty breakfast in the morning to make up for it.

Maternity clothes? I am REALLY enjoying all my maternity clothes right now. So comfortable and so toasty!


Stretch marks? NONE NONE NONE! I've been trying to remember when I started getting them with Ryder, but I can't. I have been rubbing my stomach, sides, lower pack, inner thigh, hell the whole thigh down with Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula Massage Lotion for Stretch Marks (Babies R Us), and raw virgin coconut oil. I hope I can stay this lucky but my skin feels like it's stretched to the max right now! 

Sleep: I'm starting to need to use the bathroom during the night, oh gosh this is going to be a long 7 weeks! I am having a hard time getting comfortable but my leg and foot cramps have disappeared and lets hope for good.

Best moment this week: Getting to go visit with my friend Chana and get some super awesome baby stuff! She even still had some of the clothes I gave her from Ryder for her oldest son Bear, that means all four of our boys will have worn it! I love it! 

Miss anything? I miss not being in pain when I stand or walk. Yes. That's missed. 

Movement: He is so active and LOVES to wake up at bed time. I am getting jabs from all over it's hard to tell where he's at.

Food cravings: Junk, Altoids. I can eat like 7 at a time. Healthier, carrots and ranch.

Anything making you queasy or sick: I think Brandon got me sick, not nauseated but my throat feels a little sore. Thanks sweetie! *SARCASTIC VOICE*

Gender: 



Labor signs: No, but apparently he's already dropped but my cervix is still closed. TMI?

Symptoms: Ugh so much discomfort walking, I take little steps and slowly especially after just getting up. Some stomach tightening here and there as well but no real concern of contractions. I'm getting closer and think I wont be having to be induced this time! FINGERS CROSSED!

Belly button in or out? Out, I mean massively out. It's super awkward with the hernia. The darker colored part is where my bellybutton used to be, the flesh color lump is hernia. It's still not painful at all so I'm glad for that, it's just so obvious even under my shirt I get a lot of comments about being ready to pop. I can't wait for them all at Thanksgiving.


Wedding rings on or off? On, I put it back on it's loose around where it sits but tight to take off. I think I'll just leave it.

Happy or moody most of the time: Oh this week I'm so moody, it's unbearable to me. I think it's because I'm so tired. Hormones or tired I don;t care but I want to hide from everyone to save them from seeing me like this.

Looking forward to: Still trying to clean out the garage, organize Brandon's 32nd Birthday dinner, and all of these wonderful upcoming events:

Thanksgiving: 7 days

Brandon's Birthday: 16 days

Work Days until D-Day: 29 days

Christmas: 34 days
