33 weeks prego

So I was gonna write more posts about being pregnant this pregnancy.. but instead this is my 1st and I'm 33 weeks. Haha oh well.

So being pregnant is an adventure for sure.. where do I even start haha I feel like this pregnancy has been SOO much harder then my first. I'm way more uncomfortable and all that, BUT last pregnancy by the time I was this far along I had nothing to do.. I was out of school, we had just moved to a TINY apartment that didn't require much, and most of all i didn't have a toddler demanding all of my time attention and energy haha I remember watching lots of TV and taking super long naps.. so I suppose things would be different this go round if that's all I was doing.. but while this pregnancy is different in that way it's also super similar to Micah's.. I am carrying the exact same way, straight out! My mom and sister were telling men that from behind I don't even look prego.. and then I turn sideways and bam! Huge belly haha

So just for documenting purposes let me go back a little bit.. At my 21 week ultrasound my placenta was too close to my c-section scar. Apparently that can cause big problems so we had to play the waiting game till I was 28 weeks to see if it had moved, and it did!! Such a relief! Thanks to all the fasting and prayers of my family :) 

At the 28 week ultrasound the baby was breech which isn't a big deal that early, but they kept checking at each appointment and he was always breech. Last week I went in because I was sick and they checked again for fun.. Still breech. But also still early. 

But last night this baby was doing some crazy stuff and I swear he was flipping head down.  I had an appointment today and they didn't pull out the little ultrasound so make certain, but the heart beat was in a new spot way lower!! So I think he has turned! 

One less thing to worry about hopefully! haha

I feel like every appointment lately I've had lots of issues and stuff, but this appointment was great, I'm measuring just right, the babies heart beat was just perfect, my blood pressure and all that is great.  It always feels good to go in and hear that everything doing good. 

So now I'm going to do lots of talking about what its like to be 33 weeks prego! haha 

One word seems to sum it up pretty good.. FAT! haha

Not only do I have this huge belly, but everything is getting fatter.. Face, legs, arms, you name it, its growing! 

I feel like I had a lot harder time with the weight gain last pregnancy.  I had always heard you gained around 20-30 pounds, no big deal! So when I FAR exceeded that it was rough on me!  This time I'm not letting it get me down so much.  I mean obviously it would be nice to be one of those girls who gain a couple of pounds and then go back to pre baby weight right away, but I'm just not! Sure I could do better, but I'm trying and thats really all I can muster right about now haha 

I worked out pretty regularly through my second trimester, but it just got harder and harder.. I have been trying to work out still and every time no matter how easy I take a workout it kills me! 

And It's not like a normal kind of soar.. I can handle being soar, this is more like all of my muscles are dying and hurting in a way that is unbearable!! I keep thinking this time it wont hurt me and I try and workout again, and then I die.. It takes muscle rub, heating pads, and pain killer just to try and survive after an attempted workout haha and yet I'll be trying it again most likely.. 

I really don't want to have to start all the way over like I did after last pregnancy, but it's looking like thats probably what will happen.. Oh well I mean I making a human! Inside of me! 

Sacrifices definitely have to be made, might as well have a good attitude about it! 

Anyways! rant over haha 

A few other fun things..

I have to pee SO many times throughout the day and night that it's just crazy. 

Pregnancy makes me a little weird, last night Micah woke me up around 3, the moment I woke up I was hit with a wave of hunger! I tried to ignore it.. I got Micah back to bed then peed obviously and then got to thinking about this baby and just got so excited! haha hard to go back to sleep when your starving AND excited! I tried to continue to ignore the hunger, but as I ignored it, it turned from hunger to nausea ha my body was like you WILL eat at 3 am.

So I did. Pregnancy problems alrighty.

Organizing, stocking up, and cleaning is my life.

Nesting is for real!! I definitely didn't have the nesting urge last time like this time, holy smokes it's intense and I've been nesting since I was like 20 weeks haha

And can I just say, it's so awesome!! I love this new love of cleaning and organizing and I really don't want it to go away! 

I've gained some awesome new habits while being prego that I hope I keep up after I have this baby.  

I have so many things I want to get done before I have this little guy. So I'm trying to knock off something every day and it always makes me so happy when stuff gets done.  

I have been having the worst braxton hicks for a while now. Sometimes its so bad that I can't even stand up.. Super annoying! 

Bending over is the worst these days..

Tying my shoes is so hard.  I make Matt do it whenever possible

Leaving the house with just me and Micah is getting harder and harder.. I have to get both of us dressed, make sure we have water and snacks and a for sure plan on where we are going and what we are doing and if there will be bathrooms near by haha and then in the midst of trying to leave I have to pee like 3 times (and then I'll have to go again as soon as we get where we are going) I get Micahs coat and shoes on and then he usually hangs out by the door for a while as I run around trying to get all the things I'm forgetting haha It takes us so long that by the time we get out it's usually nap time or lunch time and it turns into a fiasco with an angry/tired 2 year old and me who can barely waddle around. 

So we just try and wait for Matt most of the time these days ha

Most of the time I never want to leave my house.. Everything is so much easier here! haha Amazon is my best friend.  Online shopping is a miracle! And I just found out that you can grocery shop online!! And then all you have to do is go to the store and I'm pretty sure they will bring it out to your car for you.. I haven't actually done it, but you can bet I will be taking advantage of that with a newborn! (and possible before that) 

I am SO glad to be in my third trimester during the winter this time. I'm like a living heater even when it's super cold. I was all worried about having a winter coat that would fit over my belly, but turns out I don't need one! a sweater or a jacket and I'm usually good.  I do wish I could go on walks though.. Even though I would probably be fine poor Micah would freeze! And It's usually dark by the time Matt gets home.. Maybe it will get warm enough to brave the cold one of these days.  

I have mentioned how much fun I'm having getting ready for this baby? haha

Micah still has no clue whats going on AND he is the biggest mamas boy!! He really needs to get over that a little.. I'm starting to worry.. Having a baby that takes up a ton of my time and attention is gonna be super rough on him! I try and talk to him about having a brother and all that, but it just goes over his head.. oh boy! 

I feel like I have been pregnant for SOO long! Growing a baby take forever!! And at the same time I can't believe we only have 7 weeks left.. funny how that works 

Sleeping is pretty uncomfortable these days.  I have this huge pregnancy pillow that helps a ton, but my hips always hurt so bad in the morning.  Some nights I come and sleep on the couch for a few hours just to mix things up and give my body a break.  

I feel like this baby moves a lot more then Micah which I LOVE! Sometimes it's a little painful, but it's so nice not to have to worry about him all the time. 

Pregnancy definitely has its ups and downs, but in the end I sure am grateful to be able to be pregnant and that we are both healthy! It's an amazing thing and I sure am getting excited to meet this guy!
