33 WEEKS!!!!!

How far along? 33 weeks  3 days (36 days until c section)

According to What to expect when expecting: Baby is the size of: pineapple...yummmmo

Total weight gain: 14 pounds (lost 2 lbs this time)

Maternity clothes? Nope. My favorite outfit is my orange and white striped "sweatshirt" and leggings. I recently got some fleece leggings and a lime green shirt just like the orange one. So if you see me in public that's probably what I will have on. 

Stretch marks? Not a one! 

Sleep: I'm back to the Ambien. It seems to be working good now. It makes me do cray cray stuff in the night tho. The other day I woke up and there was an unopened can of sprite next to my bed...weird. Also, I taught myself how to crochet during this pregnancy. Matt tells me he can tell when I've crocheted something "on drugs". It usually is lopsided or has an unexplainable condition. HA!

Best moment this week: It will be Friday when my hubby comes home!! He REALLY doesn't understand how busy he is going to be these next two weeks. 

Movement: still constantly moving. I'm really annoyed by it because its usually a kick in the ribs, pelvis, or bladder. Not my kind of cute!

Happy or Moody most of the time: I'm pretty happy unless you ask to many questions about the twins. Yes, I'm pregnant.  Yes, they are twins. No, they aren't identical. Yes, they run in my family. No, my husband's genes did not have anything to do with making the twins.

What's baby(s) doing this week? Just gaining weight. 

HALFWAY TO 40

Most would say "I'm halfway done with this pregnancy", but my circumstances are a little different. I considered myself halfway done last week. Since I'll be having a c-section my doctor would like to schedule them at 38 weeks. (If they don't come on their own)  I say my "due date" is March 1, but really 38 weeks is February 15th. Which would work out GREAT because Matt comes home from work that day.

Best moment this week: nothing exciting. Just moving along!

Last time you cried over something ridiculous:  haven't been emotional much either. 

Movement: here and there. Twin Girl was on top of Twin Boy by my lungs. I had a REALLY bad night one night and couldn't breathe. It felt like I was breathing through a straw. Horrible experience!!

Food cravings: not much lately. Still sweet stuff. Now I'm thinking about that DELICIOUS pumpkin bread sitting on my counter......

Anything making you queasy or sick: still the same...Mac and cheese, avocado

Labor Signs: Nope! Thats a good thing!
