Bumpdate

How far along? 33weeks

How big is baby? The baby is about 17 inches long from head to toe and weighs about 4.2 pounds.

Gender? GIRL!!

Total Weight Gain? I am up 2 pound from last week so 27 pounds all together so far.

Maternity Clothes? Yes to both tops and bottoms.

Symptoms? Still the sore upper back in the evenings and my skin on my tummy is itchy.

Food Cravings? Nothing in particular. I haven't really craved anything.

Food Aversions? There is nothing that has been unappealing.

What I miss? Being at home. Still at my parents house this week. I will be here for probably 1 more week I think. This weekend Matt and my dad will be painting the rest of the baseboards and my dad will be building the inside of the baby's closet. Oh well once the carpet gets installed then I will be able to be moved in again I'm hoping it will come in sooner then they said.

Sleep? This week has been awesome, I have not woken up in the middle of the night. If I did though I don't remember it.

Movement? Oh my baby is a mover and a shaker! She loves moving around and I love feeling her move around! 

Stretch marks? Oh yes there are plenty. Just on the sides and under my boobs.

Belly button? Still an inny but the top part of it is kind of hard so sometimes you can see that through my shirt.

Milestones? Making it to 33 week!

Best moment of the week? Feeling my baby move so much. I sometimes think that she is going to hurt herself in there, she makes such big movements.


What I am looking forward to? Getting our house back to normal, I really hope the carpet comes in early and we can get it installed before the baby shower. Wishful thinking!

Pregnancy moments with Matt:  We had our first birth and baby class on Saturday, Matt was really considering on not staying when they showed the video of a birthing story. He didn't want to see it but no other guys got up to leave so he stayed. He told me that he is not looking forward to the transitional stage where I don't know what I want anymore.

Renovation Wednesday

                                

 So more Renos have happened which is super exciting because then soon I will be able to move home again! Here is what happened over the weekend. Starting on Friday my dad came over to my house and him and Matt got the walls in all the bedrooms ready with putty to fix all the imperfections that the walls had. Which there was a lot of as you will be able to tell in the photos below. Saturday they got the first coat of paint on the ceiling and did more sanding and mudding on the walls. Sunday was the same thing, second coat on the ceiling and more work on the walls. Then Monday and Tuesday was painting the walls days. The new paint color I thought was going to be way too light, but it just brightens up the rooms and makes them feel bigger. I'm hoping that this coming weekend baseboards will be all bought and varnished, maybe even installed? That would be great!



Here is what the baby's room looked like before, well all patched up but it had a really dark purple on the walls which made it feel very small.

What I miss? Being at home. Still at my parents house this week. I will be here for probably 2 more weeks I think. This weekend Matt and my dad will be painting the ceilings in the rooms which is oil based so again I can't be around that. Oh well once the carpet gets installed then I will be able to be moved in again.

Sleep? Well I have started the waking up in the middle of the night. However all I have to do is just move out of the position I was in and then move back and then I fall asleep right away again. So really I can not complain at all.

Movement? Oh my baby is a mover and a shaker! She loves moving around and I love feeling her move around! 

Stretch marks? Oh yes there are plenty. Just on the sides and under my boobs.

Belly button? Still an inny but the top part of it is kind of hard so sometimes you can see that through my shirt.

Milestones? Making it to 32 weeks! I can't believe 8 months pregnant already!

Best moment of the week? Finding out that I am going to get 4 diaper boxes full of baby clothes from one of my patient's daughter's daughter. Yay so excited.


What I am looking forward to? Going to our first baby class on Saturday!

Pregnancy moments with Matt:  I had stopped in at home to pick up some more things to bring to mom and dad's and Matt was loving my belly. I am so happy that he is so excited!

Renovation Wednesday

               

 Our office in the basement has had so much progress completed! The walls are up they have been mudded and primed, and painted. Not only are the walls done but the ceiling is up and the floor is leveled. Matt still has to finish up the electrical but we are getting so close! The baseboards for in there are all varnished and ready to get installed. I can't wait till this is done and we can move things into the new room. Also I am looking forward to the upstairs to be done as well. I would really like to get started on the baby's room.

Ceiling tiles are up, all these tiles were free too which makes it even better!
