Bumpdate: {33 Weeks}

I'm still scratching my head and wondering how the heck I've arrived at 33 weeks. It seemed like just yesterday we found out we were expecting. Time really does fly during this third trimester, doesn't it?

Weight Gain:  +1 lb. this week

Baby: I'll get an exact weight on her at tomorrow's weekly biophysical profile appointment (yep - we are going once a week now), but I'm guessing she's at 4 lbs. or more - a healthy girl!

Bathroom pic at work...sorry, no time to take a good photo last night : )

Cravings:  Pickles! I've eaten my weight (and my husband's) in mini dill pickles this week. How stereotypical of a pregnant gal is that? Ha! We've enjoyed steak twice this week, which has tasted oh-so-good. I'm also PUMPED for chili cheese dip while we watch the Razorback game Saturday!

How I'm Feeling: I still have a lot of energy once I get going, though it's been HARD to drag myself out of bed lately. Not the actual waking up, but the physical rolling over and getting up is difficult stuff : ) 

No swelling or shortness of breath still yet, and keeping my fingers crossed I can avoid this until the very end. Morning sickness has returned once again though, and Tuesday, I had to take a Zofran. 

Movement: Good gracious, yes. She's running out of room in there, so I feel everything. At some point last week, she flipped from the breech position to head down, which feels a LOT better on her mama : ) Breech kicks hurt like no other!

Favorite Moment this Week:  It actually happened last Friday, but we scheduled the date for the C-section! October 14th will be Caroline's birthday! Six weeks from Monday, by this time, we'll be holding a BABY GIRL in our arms!!

Sleeping: Sleep? What is this thing you call sleep? Ha! (I'm a pro at going on two hours at this point.)

Clothes: Pants are all maternity, with the exception of leggings and gym shorts, which I quickly put on as soon as I walk in the door from work. Tops are about half maternity, half regular. Dresses are all regular.

Most looking forward to: Our couples baby shower brunch that our friends the Sadlers are hosting for us Sunday. This is our second-to-last baby shower before Caroline gets here, so we plan to enjoy every second of it! (My mom and her friends are also hosting a Sip 'n See back in my hometown after baby girl arrives, which I'm pumped about, too!)

Thankful for: Zantac (the heartburn med) and Zofran (the anti-nausea med). They are my two best friends this week.

Do the DIP!!

Confessional Friday update: I plan to post a few of my favorite dip recipes tomorrow, in honor of football season beginning. BUT, you are more than welcome to do a Confessional post, too. Whatever you decide to write about, the InLinkz link-up stream will be up and going at the usual 7 a.m. time slot.

A lot of y'all seemed to like having the optional topics for each week, so I'll put up the fall schedule next week.
