The Brunkers: Weeks 33 and 34

Again, I am a little behind. I have been busy! We have completed Brooklyn's nursery, as previous posts show, I have had 2 more baby showers and I have been nesting like crazy! As I am writing this I am actually 35 weeks and 1 day pregnant but here are the highlights from weeks 33 and 34. I added a new bullet point below:

Pregnancy Updates-Weeks 33 and 34

How Far Along: As noted above I am 35 weeks 1 day as I am typing this, but the information below pertains to weeks 33 and 34

Total Weight Gain: At my last Doctor's appointment I had only gained 1 pound in 2 weeks, which I was super happy about.

Maternity Clothes: YES! And, I am starting to wear the hubby's clothes-especially his sweatshirts. I am not going to buy maternity sweatshirts because one I don't want to spend the money and two the hubby's work just as well, and they are super comfy!

Favorite Moment This Week: getting the nursery completed and having my last baby shower

Gender: A girl-Brooklyn Paige (well, I hope! The thought goes through my mind at least once a day about what if it really is a boy and not a girl...ahh! crazy thoughts. If it's a boy-he is going to have to like pink-ha!)

Movement: Is she ever going to stop-I thought she was supposed to be running out of room and the movement would slow down a little, but not with this little princess. She loves kicking my ribs! But, I wouldn't change it for anything!

Food Cravings: guess what-still orange juice and that's about it!

What I Miss: being able to put on socks and shoes without huffing and puffing!

Sleep: so-so. I have been getting up to potty about 5 times a night and it is always hard to fall back asleep.

What I am Looking Forward to: getting the house all ready and spending these last few weeks with my husband before our life changes drastically-but for the better!

Symptoms: a little cramping (dr. said it's normal), tiredness

Belly Button: still a little in but mostly out, but not completely out-it is a weird thing!

Next Dr. Appointment: Monday Oct 24

Contractions: Yes, Braxton Hicks and some mild cramping, which doctor told me is like having minor contractions and it is just my body preparing for labor!
