33 Weeks

Its hard to believe that November is almost half over already! Which means December will be here before we know it--which also means baby #2 will be here sooner than I know it!

This reality hit me hard this weekend--I will be full term (37 weeks) on December 11--which was a month from Monday! A MONTH! EEK so much do within a month!

I need to prep the cloth diapers (yes, we are using cloth diapers this time around to save $$$), make the crib bedding, set up the nursery, organize clothes (90% which are girly right now! but I didn't want to buy a stuff if we don't need it), set up the bassinet, get the car seat ready, pack the hospital bag, check out and clean the breast pump, pick a name (girls name is the problem here!), do the hospital tour, make arrangements for Lainey, make her big sister bag and shirt, and make freezer meals. I am sure I am probably forgetting some things but YIKES that is a tad overwhelming!

I remember this when I was pregnant with Lainey too. You think you have all the time in the world until BAM you are counting days and weeks instead of months

At 33 weeks, I feel:
1. Large. I have gained the same amount of weight now than I did my entire pregnancy with Lainey.
2. Pain in the ribs--especially my left side. At 30.5 weeks baby had already "dropped" but I swear s/he is up pushing against my ribs.
3. Headaches--almost daily. Some worse than others.
4. Tired. My last appointment they found me to anemic so I have started on iron. Hopefully I feel more energy soon!

Lainey continues to be super excited for baby to come! She is now convinced baby is a GIRL and prays for baby by her favorite girl name.  She is going to be an amazing big sister!
