I'm seriously impressed with how fast time is flying! I thought I'd be miserable by now, but... so far so good! This week baby girl is the size of a...
How... cute?!? I've obviously missed out on some exotic fruits in my lifetime, because I don't recall ever hearing of or seeing a durian in my 30 years.
What's Baby Up To?
She is still pretty wiggly, although it seems like she has calmed down a tad this week... probably running out of room for her shenanigans. She also gets the hiccups 2-3 times a day! But best of all she usually is pretty sweet and lets her mommy sleep uninterrupted at night! We'll see how long that lasts... ;)
How's Mama?
Symptoms: NONE! My prescription strength heartburn medicine is a life saver. :) Sometimes I have trouble getting comfortable in bed, due to some upper back pain, but overall it's been a great week!
Cravings: Dark Chocolate covered pretzel thins from Trader Joes! Delicious!
Weight Gain: I'll spare you (and myself) the number on the scale. But, apparently baby is gaining weight more rapidly now, so for every pound I gain, half of it goes directly to her. So... really I suppose I'm just taking one for the team! ;)
She is definitely growing outward - I mostly just look like I swallowed a basketball, which is fine by me! Although... my belly button hole is getting dangerously smaller and smaller. Crossing my fingers that it'll stay put a little longer and not pop out!

What's Baby Up To?
- She's keeping her eyes open now while she's awake! :)
- She is starting to coordinate her breathing with her sucking and swallowing. (Such a multi-tasker!)
- Her bones are hardening.
- She's still going through major brain development.
- Her head circumference should jump up about a half an inch this week due to her remarkable brain growth.

33 Week Bump Pic:
In case you're wondering... my hair didn't magically grow 5 inches in the last week. I still had my extensions in from my maternity shoot that were taken by my friend Adrian on Monday of this week. The pictures turned out absolutely fabulous! I will share some of my favs in the next post.
Week 33, you've been good to me! To make it even better, I have another shower this weekend to look forward to! Life is good!
Bring on these last 7 weeks! :)
