33 Weeks

Only 7 more weeks to go! Again, if Baby Carson decides to come on time. I'm kind of hoping that he decides to maybe show a week or two early. Just sayin'.  I'm kind of ready to have this kid out of me because everything hurts. EVERYTHING. 

Week 33:

That was totally not a maternity shirt. #nofucksgiven I made it work.

Cravings: Well, right now all food is good. I still have super strong urges to eat lots of cheese and milk. However, I've been eating a little more normally and have been trying very hard to eat nice and balanced meals. Whole grains, protein, and lean meats. So far that is going alright. It is just some nights I'm in so much pain and so tired I don't want to cook. When I do cook, I make pretty big batches of stuff so I have leftovers. 

Feeling: HUGE. Super, holy crap what is happening to my body, huge. I mean, I wasn't small when I got pregnant so this has not been my idea of a good time. However, I was at the doctor last Tuesday (and everything is fine) and I had lost two pounds. How this is possible completely baffles my mind. I just stare at the scale and think "WTF is happening? I'm getting bigger, but losing weight." Makes perfect sense right? I'm also feeling pain. Lots and lots of pain. My pelvic area feels like it is going to split open. My hips are constantly throbbing and I use a yoga ball to help loosen them up and my legs feel super restless. Especially at night. I am finding it hard to sleep these days too because I am so uncomfortable. I wake up at least 3 or 4 times a night to try and readjust or find somewhere that is comfortable. The dogs have gotten used to going outside at 4:00am too which is not a good thing.... 

This is the stage of pregnancy that I know is hard on everyone. Again, I'm super happy to be pregnant and having a baby. I'm just not enjoying this stage of everything and the pain that goes along with it. Everything south of my ribs hurts 24/7. No lie. 

I will get through it though and all will be well once Carson is here. 

Other Things: My shower is on Saturday! EEK! I am so excited to see everyone! Especially those out of town people that I never get to see much! Honestly I could care less about the games and all that nonsense. I'm just super excited to be surrounded by family and friends for an afternoon. October sure is flying by. It doesn't help that every weekend this month has been taken up by some class or activity so it feels like it is going by even faster than usual. 

I want to mention one other thing. 

I am VERY ready for cold weather. Seriously. GET COLD ALREADY. I'm tired of waking up drenched in sweat because it's still humid and muggy outside. It is the middle of October. Get with it fall.
