Week 33

Less than 50 days to go until we meet our little princess! This week has been very low key- just work and relaxing! My bump is of course bigger than ever but I do still get the "oh your belly is still so small' comments. 

What is the baby up to this week? According to our growth scan she is about 2.2kgs and they estimate she will be 3.6kgs by her due date. 

Stretch marks? None! I have been applying lotion regularly but from what I've read if I am going to get them it will happen in the next few weeks regardless of the amount of lotion I use.  

Sleep: I am taking advantage of my afternoon naps every few days to catch up and recharge my batteries when I have had a long day at work but other than that just sleep like usual. My right leg has begun to get bad cramps when I lay on my right hip and I wake up with shooting pains down my leg.

Best moment this week: our growth scan!! We got to see our baby girl again! It has made me so much more impatient to hurry up the next 6-7 weeks so we can meet her. She is measuring perfectly.. Just 3 days behind her gestational age and just below the average line which means she won't be too big or too small at birth. 

We think she looks just like me as a newborn- pouty sucked in bottom lip and a little pug nose. I can't wait to see what colour eyes she has and her hair colour of she isn't a bald baby. 

Miss Anything? Sleeping on my tummy although I would gladly give that and everything else up to keep our baby girl happy and healthy in there. 

Movement: Lots is definately and understatement! Nick sometimes catches it out of the corner of his eye as my belly rolls around and she stretches her little legs out. She must be so cramped in there. She pushes her little bottom out and pushes against my stomach with her legs! 

Food cravings: Still salads. And fruit. And cereal. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: chicken and too much cheese turns my stomach just at the thought of it. 

Have you started to show yet: silly question now... I am one big Mumma! 

Gender prediction: no longer a prediction.... Sweet baby GIRL!!!!

Symptoms: the dark line down my belly is starting to stretch upwards now, my boobs leak (which is gross.. But a GREAT sign that they work and will hopefully provide our baby girl with everything she needs)! 

Belly Button in or out? An OUTIE and it's squishy and gross and rubs on my shirts... I may need to start wearing a bandaid over it!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy! And impatient! Only 42 days (and counting) until she is due! 

Looking forward to: hearing baby girls heartbeat at our midwife appointment on Friday and going home to see family and friends and show off my bump!!!

Well that is all for this week! 

Love from us (all 3 of us) xxoo
