33 Week Bumpdate

How far along? 33 weeks! 
Baby is the size of a: honeydew melon.
Total weight gain: about 24lbs. 
Stretch marks? A few on my sides and one on my boob, but they’re not a big deal.  
Maternity clothes? All the time or leggings/workout pants. 
Sleep: Still waking up once or twice to go pee but going back to sleep right after. 
Best moment this week: Celebrating Christmas and meeting with our doula 
Miss anything? Still missing that beer or glass of wine 
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope. 
Gender: BOY!! 
Labor signs: None this week. 
Symptoms:  Pretty much the same as last week, nothing new or crazy. 
Belly button in or out? Out unless I’m laying down on my back
Wedding rings on or off: On.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy
Looking forward to: Seeing our little guy again on the 11th and meeting him! 

We had our first prenatal appointment with our doula this week to go over our birth plan and talk about the pregnancy. We made some changes to the birth plan and we’ll meet again on January 18th to go over when to call her, what to pack and pain relief techniques. 

I’ve been drinking one cup of Red Raspberry Leaf tea every day since 32 weeks to prep my uterus and plan to up it around 36/37 weeks.  I’m really curious if it’ll make a difference in the effectiveness of my contractions and length of labor.  

We also bought more things to decorate Logan’s room this week and are pretty much done with his room except a mobile I want to make and getting curtains.  We’ll use Caleb’s crib mattress when Logan is ready to go in his room and get Caleb a full size mattress.  It’s funny how much more relaxed you are with prepping for baby number 2 and how you realize what’s a necessity and what’s not.  It’s still exciting, but you just feel more at ease and not in a rush to get things done.
