Hello HONEYdew

How Far Along: 33 Weeks

Size of Baby: Baby is the size of a HONEYdew

Other things baby is up to: Baby's senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through your (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, baby can now recognize and react to simple songs... time to start practicing your lullabies! Growth (at least inside your womb) is starting to slow, and you may notice baby descend into your pelvis at the end of this month.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 20 lbs at my 32 week appointment, which is great so far. Hoping I gain just 10 more lbs but we'll see what ends up happening! 

Movement: She is just a mellow fellow. She doesn't move very often, no hard kicks but I do feel her all the time. She is definitely laying on the right side with her head down - perfect for delivery. 

Sleep: I won't jinx myself but I'm still getting very good sleep and I am thanking God every night that I do get sleep. 

Symptoms: Acid Reflux, having a sweet tooth (which hasn't changed since the BFP), and a lot of weight on my stomach (I can tell she's gaining weight).

Belly Button: Can you believe it, I'm still an inny!!! My belly button is probably the size that a normal person's belly button is when not pregnant. I tell you, I had the black hole as my belly button!

Milestones: Next week I have my 34 week appointment and then appointments every week afterwards. I just hit 50 more days, can you believe 50 more days? I can't wait to meet this baby girl!!

Looking forward to: How about what am I not looking forward to? Eugene is going on a bachelor party next weekend and I'm not looking forward to being home alone for the weekend -=( 

Next appointment: May 26, 2011

Other: I'm spending some time with some of my sisters this weekend which I'm super excited about. I haven't seen some of these sisters for 2 years or more so it will be a great reunion! <3
