33 Weeks

How Far Along: 33 Weeks

Size of baby: Mason now weighs a little over 4 pounds. He's about 17 inches long from head to heel!

Weight Gain/Loss: 17 pounds, maybe 18 I just haven’t weighed this week.

Maternity Clothes: All maternity clothes now. My friend Tosca let me borrow some of her maternity clothes and she has some really cute short sleeved shirts. I was able to wear 2 of them this week because the weather has been so nice. She had a really cute pair of jean capris that I’m looking forward to wearing this weekend!

Gender: It's a BOY!! Mason Carter Mitchell

Movement: Mason is moving so much these days. I bet he spends about ½ the day moving around. Most of his movements are a smooth rolling sensation. However, every once in a while he gives me a good kick and it can be a little painful! Several days this week, I’ve been able to tell that his back is on my right side and his arms and legs are on the left side. It’s pretty cool when I can feel his boney little feet/elbows/fits moving around in there!

Food Cravings: Still loving french fries and spaghetti, nothing new.

What I miss: The only thing I can think that I miss right now is sleeping on my back.

Sleep: My hips become very sore after a few hours of sleep. I have to switch the side I’m laying on about once an hour. I’ve also started having bad acid reflux/heartburn at night. My nighttime bathroom trips have returned. Every night this weeks I’ve gotten up about 1:00 am.

Symptoms: A few Braxton Hicks contractions, acid reflux/heartburn, and muscle soreness in my upper abdomen.

Best Moment this week: Mason has had the hiccups twice this week. I was beginning to think that he wasn’t going to get them. His hiccups are faster than mine and not as strong. I think that they make him mad because when he has them he moves a whole lot!  

What I am looking forward to: We are taking a tour of the maternity floor of the hospital this Sunday afternoon. We’re getting close to d-day!
