33 Weeks!!!

Another week has flown by! It seems like the second half of this pregnancy went by so quickly!! We have been busy working a to do list before Olivia arrives.  Nick has put everything together and I believe we have everything ready to go. 

 

Miss Olivia is just as active as ever!! Her movements have not seemed to slow down much at all.  She moves around all the time and it is starting to get a little painful at times! :) I have been having quite a few Braxton Hicks here lately as well. Other than the aches and pains I feel pretty good for the most part.  I am pretty exhausted by the end of the day but I guess that is to be expected. 

  

I read that this week her bones are hardening and she is going through more major brain development!  She is also keeping her eyes open while she is awake and is starting to coordinate breathing with sucking and swallowing. 

 

Pregnancy Highlights

 

How far along? 33 weeks 5 days

Size of Baby?   This week she weighs as much as a pineapple and is more than 17 inches, head to heel. 

Weight Gain/Loss? About a pound
 

Maternity Clothes?  Yes, all the time!

Best Moment this week?  We always talk to Brayden about his baby sister.  You can tell him to give sissy kisses and he runs over to me and kisses my belly.  It is so sweet.  He will also hug on her and tell her he loves her. We talk about what we are going to do when she arrives. I ask him if he is going to love on her, feed her, give her a paci, etc.  Well this week I ask him if he was going to rock sissy.  And he would say, "rock sissy." I showed him how to rock a baby and now when we ask him how he is going to rock sissy, he will fold his little arms up and say "rocky, rocky."  He is so sweet and he is going to be an excellent big brother and I know Olivia will just love him to pieces!!

Here is the video of Brayden showing how he is going to rock his sissy!

Gender? IT'S A GIRL! Olivia Kate!

Movement?   This little girl is so active! She moves all the time!

Food Craving?  No real cravings just everything sounds good!!

What I miss? I just miss feeling like myself. 

Sleep?  Still sleeping really well.  I am surprised that I have not started losing sleep at this point in pregnancy but I am not complaining!!

Symptoms?  My hands and feet tingle all the time.  I have "baby brain" all the time and I am so clumsy these days!  I am also so hot all the time and I cannot get cooled off anymore!  I am also still having lots of aches and pains and those lovely Braxton Hicks contractions!
