Pregnancy Report- 33 Weeks


The time is seriously FLYING by. I think I say this every time I write about this pregnancy, but words can truly not describe the emotions that have been going through me these last few weeks as this baby's arrival draws ever-nearer. I have been experiencing emotional cycles of extreme excitement and complete terror, but I feel like those are evening out a little bit each day. I am getting so excited for our little man to arrive and I just can't wait to meet him and see what he looks like.

He is still moving around like crazy in there and I absolutely love feeling each and every movement he makes. The other day I had my laptop propped up on my stomach and all of a sudden he started moving around so much that my computer was visibly bouncing up and down. The funniest movements are when I'm laying on my side and he slides up my ribs or my side and I jump because it tickles. He must be getting comfy with his feet or something right up in the ride side of my ribs because they have been feeling a little tender lately. He gets the hiccups at least 3 times a day, which is always fun because those are such smooth, rhythmic bumps.

The little man must have dropped recently because I rarely feel short of breath like I did at times earlier when my lungs were squished up more. My heartburn was much worse in my second trimester than it is now, but I still keep Tums within arms reach at all times for when I need them. I have still been working full time and plan to right up until the week before my due date. It has been such a blessing being able to work this whole time and it's kept my mind busy thinking about other things, which I know has been a huge help with making it all go by so fast.

Eric and I talk about how we can't help but have this inevitable feeling of dramatic change looming around the corner at all times. We know that it will be so amazing to bring this baby into our family and start this new chapter in our lives, but we are trying to soak up every second we have together as just the two of us. Each weekend we spend every minute we can just being together and relaxing as much as we can.

Only 6 and a half weeks to go!
