34 weeks

How far along? 34 weeks 

Total weight gain/loss: +3 pounds 

       Starting Weight: 168

       Current Weight:  171 

Maternity clothes? All the time. Anything too tight makes my belly hurt and baby move lol 

Stretch marks? Yes. I didn’t want any but they’re there. 

Sleep: horrible lol 😂 I’d rather be up with a baby and be able to sleep on my back. 

Best moment this week: just feeling her move over and over. We also got maternity pictures done  

Miss Anything? Sleeping on my back. 

Movement: she’s very active between noon and 3pm. Again between 7:30pm and 10pm. And again between 1am-4am lol 😂  

Food cravings: today I’m craving BLT sandwiches and pulled pork sandwiches. On Saturday I was craving ribs and corn on the cob. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: it’s a hit or miss some days. 

Have you started to show yet: yea lol 

Gender: girl 

Labor Signs: I’ve been having either Braxton Hicks or light contractions. 

Belly Button in or out? Out 

Wedding rings on or off? On when I remember 

Happy or Moody most of the time: I feel like I’ve been better this week. Less moody lol 

Looking forward to: her being here. 

Migraine: as of right now only 3 out of 7 days with a migraine. Which is really good. It depends on if I get one today or not 

33 weeks

How far along? 33 weeks and 1 day technically 

Total weight gain/loss: +3 pounds 

       Starting Weight: 168

       Current Weight:  171  I’ve lost weight this week. Which is weird but at the same time, my appetite has dropped off the face of the planet. I’m never hungry. 

Maternity clothes? All the time. If clothes are too tight, my belly itches like insanely crazy. 

Stretch marks?  Yes lol 😂 I was hoping I wouldn’t have any but I’m getting them on my lower belly and around my belly button. Mostly where my belly itches the most. So I’ve been trying to use more lotion to help the itching 

Sleep: haha what sleep? I’m pretty much always up between 2am and 4 am. If I lived alone, I would be cleaning my house during those hours but since I don’t, I spend most of it reading a book, playing the switch or watching tiktoks 

Best moment this week: she’s been really moving this week and my baby shower was everything I was hoping it would be.  

Miss Anything? Sleeping on my back. My upper back and hips always hurt. I’m also missing going to the gym and seeing my toes. 

Movement: all the time. But she’s already being a pest. She’ll be moving a lot and I’d yell for nick to come. He comes and the moment he places his hand on my belly, she stops. And then the moment he moves his hand, she kicks. The only time he’s really able to feel her is at night. Lately she hasn’t liked it when I lay on my left side.  

Food cravings: none. I’m hardly hungry anymore. 

Anything making you queasy or sick:  the thought of eating food. 

Have you started to show yet: I think you can answer this one 

Gender:  girl. Even though my buy buy baby registry says boy, I can’t get it the change. I even called customer service and they still couldn’t get it to change 

Labor Signs: I’ve been having a lot of Braxton Hicks. Mostly at night or right before bed 

Belly Button in or out? Today it’s out 

Wedding rings on or off? Today they are off. 

Happy or Moody most of the time:  I feel happy but I also know I’ve been very moody 

Looking forward to: her to be here lol 😂 

Migraine:  4 out of 7 days. Getting much better. I didn’t have one the day of my shower which was a praise. 

Here’s a few pictures from the shower. I’m going to do a whole post on this but for now....

Sleep: not good. I’ve said this before but if I’m going to be awake in the middle of the night, I’d rather be holding a baby 

Best moment this week: nesting has made me be a cleaning monster. So I’m enjoying a clean house  

Miss Anything? Sleeping on my back. This is getting rough. I find myself dreaming about sleeping on my back. 

Movement: lots but not all the time. When she’s active, she’s active. Like my whole belly moves. There’s not in between. It’s either very active or not at all  

Food cravings: I’ve gotten back into not craving anything. And being a little more queasy than normal.

30 weeks

Today I had a midwife appointment in person in Indy. So I made a day of it and went to the cutco store to get my knives sharpened. I bought them almost 8 years ago and they’ve never been sharpened 🤦🏼‍♀️. After that I went to my appointment. Today was a big day. I had to do my glucose test and get the rhogram shot since my blood type is A-. We did a test in November that showed that Rosadella’s blood type was A+ which means Nick is something that is positive. Neither was as bad as people made them out to be. The glucose drink I had was the orange one and it tasted like Sunkist without the carbonation. The hardest part was that it was cold. I hate cold drinks so it was really hard for me to drink all of it cause it was so cold. The shot felt like touching nettles. It wasn’t bad at all. They also took blood for labs but I’m pretty certain everything will show up fine. Rosadella is head down and I’m measuring 31 weeks in size which they said was normal. I feel like my belly really grew this week. I was shocked when I compared today’s picture to last weeks. 

Hopefully we have less than 10 weeks before we meet her. Ever since I got pregnant, I feel really strongly that she’ll be here April 21. So we’ll see!
