Baby #2: Weeks 32 and 33

Baby is the size of a squash!  Only 7 more weeks!!!  I am getting more excited and more nervous the closer I get.  I cannot wait to meet the little guy. 

This week I have been feeling really pregnant.  I've experienced a few Braxton hicks contractions and even have had some side pain...I think he was pushing on something inside.  Every.single.time. I stand up I have to pee.  Thanks baby boy!  I wore 2-3 inch heels throughout my entire pregnancy with Lilly like a champ but those fuzzy slippers are getting more and more comfortable and generally only put on real shoes when I have to get up from my desk at work. 

Tommy and I were talking about doing a date night one evening soon and we realized that we are very busy between family functions and me working a few Saturdays that this time is going to FLY by! 

I had a check up this week and was excited to find out I hadn't gained any weight since last visit.  I am sure I will add a pound or two in the weeks leading up to delivery but the less I gain now the less I have to take off later.  Certainly I want to gain the weight needed for the baby.  Even though I started out at a higher weight this time around I have gained less than I had with Lilly.  So far weight gain has been only 18 pounds.  With Lilly I gained 40!  Everything else is going well.  I won't really have the need for any more sonograms unless the doctor has any concerns so pretty much will just be going in for routine until my scheduled c-section. 

Can I say one more time that I just cannot wait to meet the little guy?! 

Here is the bump at 32 weeks with a photo brought to you by Melissa Miller who was so nice to come over this weekend to take some maternity shots.  She's starting her own photography business and she took such pretty pictures!  I cannot wait to see more.  This one I stole off facebook...I hope she doesn't mind!  Looking forward to getting the rest of the images to check them out!

 
Week 33...Get this baby out of me (hey that rhymes).  On March 23rd we had Lilly's birthday party and after that I have felt SUPER preggo.  The past few days I have been sluggish, tired, and just blah!  6 weeks away yet I am kinda hoping he decides to come a little early.  Mama is ready to be home and snuggling with you baby boy...and not to be pregnant anymore.  This week the baby is the size of a durian?  WTH is a durian?  I had to look it up.   Seriously The Bump-I am sure you could have found a fruit that people actually know and can picture to represent the size of the baby at 33 weeks.  Way to try and out smart me. 

I went to the mall the other day to return something and was 'browsing' the normal clothes in Old Navy itching to buy some items because they were so cute and I just want to wear normal clothes again.  BUT I resisted because really even my big tee shirts are belly shirts now and even some of my maternity tops are inappropriate and who knows what size I will be after the baby is born.  I even wasn't snarky with someone the other day who told me I looked like I was about to pop...I kind of agreed with them so I laughed and said "yup!". 

April is already seeming to be shaping up to be a busy month and I know May 8th will be here before we know it!

Here is the 33 week bump...and I am about to pop-thank you very much!
