Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 33 Weeks! Baby girl turned 33 weeks on my husband's birthday. 33 is HIS number. :)
Size of baby: Baby Vaughn is about 17.2 inches long from head to heel and about 4.5 pounds! (They compared it to the weight of a large pineapple this week). Getting so big!
Total Weight Gain/Loss: ~ +17-18 lb. I have a doc appt. tomorrow.

Maternity Clothes: Always maternity pants or stretchy yoga/sleep pants. If I just have to run some errands or if I'm just at home, I'll even just throw on my regular short sleeves, just make sure I have a long tank underneath. Really trying to stretch out the wardrobe here! lol
Gender: Baby V is a GIRL!!!
Movement: Lots and lots of movement still! She moves so much when I eat or drink anything. She's also super active right when I wake up (probably wanting me to eat haha)! I can feel her little booty up high and to the right of my belly. My belly looks a little lopsided. Most kicks are on the bottom left (I think she's folded in half), so I'm hoping she's still head down.
Sleep: I still sleep like a rock, BUT I went from being able to make it all night (well, 11pm-6am) without peeing, but now I get up like 3 times. She must be lower because I can go to the bathroom right before getting in bed and still have to go again in like 20 minutes before I even fall asleep. Luckily, I can still fall back asleep within minutes after getting up in the middle of the night. I appreciate the night light in our room, too! ha
What I miss: If I had to say something, I would say that I miss not getting up at night to potty. But honestly, it's not a huge hassle.
Cravings: mmm, gonna have to say cereal. I don't think it's any specific kind though. We picked up a box of raisin bran crunch and it was gone in 4 days. I don't think Nathan ate any of it. Woops! It just always sounds good, even for dinner! I use LOTS of milk, too. So each bite is like a huge spoon of milk and 2 pieces of cereal haha! If I'm going to plow through it, I'll try and not get the most sugary cereal available!
Symptoms: Growing belly, frequent trips to potty...all things I can deal with! Still no swelling, so that's good! My rings are still on! I walk most days, especially if I am babysitting. I will push the stroller for almost an hour. And days I'm not babysitting, I am usually out running errands all day, so that's lots of walking around too. I think that has helped a lot. I haven't even had to use my heating pad for several weeks. Basically, I'm feeling great...hope it continues!
Best Moment this week: Hubby's birthday!! He will be 27 and I'll be 25 when baby girl arrives. We got the crib mattress ordered. It should be in by Tuesday next week. I got a nesting urge and started sorting baby laundry, but then decided not to wash it for a few more weeks, so it will be really fresh. So now we have piles of little onesies and sleepers on the floor in her room but I don't mind because that stuff is way too cute! I also got out all our cloth diapers. I can't wait to wash them and get them ready for her as well! I still need to do a post of cloth diapering and what we have and plan to use! I may work on that this weekend. I guess I need to work on what goes in the frames for the walls before doing the laundry. I also decided I wouldn't mind going into labor a week late if it meant that she would be born on March 14, because that's Pi Day. 3.14. We are nerds and appreciate the nerdiness of that day! ha ha! I have another check up tomorrow. Nothing special (hopefully), probably just a weigh in, blood pressure check, doppler, and belly measurement. Praying everything is still smooth sailing.
