How far along: 33 weeks
Total weight gain: up to 19 total so far (as of April 9)- he didn't tell me what I gained this time.
Maternity clothes: oh yeah! Skirts are starting to be more comfy than pants, child the last few days seems to be "low" as it is more comfy to sit than move around.
Sleep: I'm way more tired during the day now than I was before. I had a relaxing day on Sunday, but was still very tired on Monday AM. Child is starting to rest on nerves, making it feel like my R leg is going asleep when I'm not in any position for it to do that.
Best moment this week: hanging with Jonah, cuddling for a nap, knowing full well we won't get that 1:1 time as much in the future.
Food cravings: ??
Gender: ??? (hoping for a girl)- I took several "wives tale" tests online and they came back inconclusive. Some said girl, some said boy. :-)
Labor signs: child is getting "Low" have that "full" feeling the last few days in my lower abs.
Movement: pretty much a dance party every day of the week all day long. :-D
What I miss: being able to roll over in bed without sitting up, days without heartburn, and being able to get up from the couch without "effort."
What I am looking forward to: the weeks ahead to spend with Jonah
Milestones: 17 inches long- about 4lbs. pineapple size, Baby Center Page
Next Appt: May 11 at 2:30pm - we are to every 2wk appts now. :-)
Heart rate: 1st time in 32 weeks he shared the HR- 138.... go ahead and start guessing. :-)

32 Weeks!
How far along: 32 weeks
Total weight gain: up to 19 total so far (as of April 9)- he didn't tell me what I gained this time.
Maternity clothes: oh yeah! Starting to get un-comfy in pants, I've never been a fan of waistbands on my tummy, but with Jonah my last 8 weeks were spent in gym shorts and baggy t shirts, not professional school clothes. I'm hoping for nicer weather again so I can go back to sun dresses. Tent or no tent, I'm going for comfort.
Sleep: I'm having to get up more to pee and staying in one position isn't working out anymore. My hips are starting to shift and I pop and crack when I get up in the AM. I've started using a pillow between my knees to keep me "level" and usually roll over about 3am ish.
Best moment this week: Hearing about Jonah
Food cravings: chocolate milk
Gender: ??? (hoping for a girl)- I took several "wives tale" tests online and they came back inconclusive. Some said girl, some said boy. :-)
Labor signs: a few Braxton Hicks on Thursday & Saturday
Movement: pretty much a dance party every day of the week all day long. :-D
What I miss: being able to roll over in bed without sitting up, days without heartburn, and being able to get up from the couch without "effort."
What I am looking forward to: the weeks ahead to spend with Jonah
Milestones: 16.7 inches long- about 3.75lbs., Baby Center Page

Week 29 :-)
This week sure has gone fast. It was a long one with long work hours, but before you knew it was Friday and I'm sure the weekend will go just as fast.
How far along: 29 weeks
Total weight gain: up to 15 total so far
Maternity clothes: oh yeah!- wearing lots of sun dresses w/ sweaters as it's been BEAUTIFUL weather out!
Sleep:rolling over only a few times at night (on purpose), waking up really sore all over, I'm wiped at 9pm every night.
Best moment this week: watching my belly bounce and move all over
Food cravings: ice cream- eating frozen yogurt and sherbet to cut down on calories
Gender: ??? (hoping for a girl)- I'm really thinking girl now.
Labor signs: none yet
Movement: LOTS of kicking and moving.... lots of "across the belly" motion, like dragging your fist along the outside, but inside. :-)
What I miss: being able to roll over in bed
What I am looking forward to:38 days of school left, State Track in May!
Milestones: 15 inches long- about 2.5lbs., size of a butternut squash, Baby Center Page
Next Appt: April 9 for my sugar test and appt. (the Monday after Easter.... guess I won't be eating a lot of candy over Easter. :-/)
Jonah Update:
He finally got a haircut! Since we had a few crying fits and refusal attempts, Melanie Davis (daycare) offered to take him to get it cut when she took her boys on Friday. As he often does with someone not us, he followed suit with Nile and Hayden and got a great cut. He looks so grown up. :-) k
He's always full of energy, has had such a blast with this warmer weather being outside as much as possible. Which ultimately means a little later night to bed. He takes advantage of us letting him sleep in when we can. It's 9:03am as I type this on Saturday morning and we haven't heard a peep from him.
He got to go to the MS dance at North Tama last night with daddy, as mommy had a track meet here in Vinton. Sounds like he had a blast and was a super trooper.
His allergies get the best of him at times. Nothing super consistent which is hard to treat. Liquid allergy medicine in some cran-grape juice seems to help a lot.
Looking forward to only 38 days of school left!
