Watch it grow...33 weeks!

(It looks like I am poking my tummy out because the arch in my back, but I assure you, I am not!) 

How far along? 33 weeks

Size of Baby: Measuring about 17 inches long, she weighs around 5lbs. And from this week, until 2 weeks before birth, she will gain about a half pound of weight every week. (according to familyplanning.com)

Total weight gain/loss: Umm... at Dr. this morning I was up 5lbs from last time so I am up about 20lbs total. (since I was down a little over a lb last time I went) Whoa momma! That is alot in a little over 2 weeks.

Maternity clothes? Yes! And my "use to be big" pjs aren't so much on the big side anymore. :-(

Best moment this week:Feeling little wiggle worm all the time!

Worst Moment: I ate some french fries one day for lunch this week and it shot my blood sugar through the roof! Sweets don't bother it too much just french fries.  I only ate them because I was so hungry and wanted something to go along with my sandwich (which I didn't eat the whole bun) but evidently those are something my body doesn't do good with. So no more fries for us!
Symptoms: I can definitely tell that I have put on 5lbs recently and that MM is getting bigger. She is up in ribs more, I can't bend over hardly at all anymore and getting up and down out of chairs and in bed is a bit harder these days. The other day I dropped something in my office floor and I didn't bend down to get it until I had dropped a few more things! :-)

Miss Anything? Not this week.

Movement: All over the place! And she still gets the hiccups quite often. I think she stretches out alot too. At times my tummy will poke out in a certain spot for a few seconds and then go back down. It is really funny to watch.

Anything making you queasy or sick? Not this week.

Have you started to show yet?:The baby bump is getting bigger by the day!

Gender : GIRL! Mary-Miller Dunlap Baker

What is Baby Baker up to?
The bones in her skull are formed, but aren't fused. They actually don't fuse entirely until early adulthood, allowing room for her brain to grow through childhood. Because they aren't fused, the bones in her skull will be able to overlap, helping her to fit through the birth canal during delivery.

In other Baker News... I am officially addicted to buying her clothes! Bargain ones, of course! I have been getting things off a local facebook page...garage sale for babies and kids. I can't begin tell you all the clothes that I have gotten. Some of which included 2 Feltman Brother dresses with the TAGS STILL ON!!! When I first started looking on there, I was basically looking for little tops and leggins for when she starts daycare. Which I have gotten a ton of those but others things I have gotten include Keds shoes (worn twice), Eddie Bauer seat protector, Boon Frog Pod for the bath toys (brand new, never taken out of box) smocked dresses and rompers, bows, hats, socks, a beautiful bibb with an embroidered cross on it still in box,  dishwasher baskets, etc... I might have spent $100 on it all together, if that. Now, I will say, it does take some time to deal with. You have to constantly look to see what people post and then you have to go meet them to get it and pay for it. But I only have done it for a week and already racked up on all that. Plus I know once she is here, I won't have time to do it so that is why I am doing it now! :-) Nothing excites me more than a good deal!
And I even sold a crib bumper and dust ruffle set myself. I had bought it at a consignment sale before we knew what Baby Baker was. It was a Pottery Barn set too good to pass up. Well, once we found out she was a girl, I knew I wouldn't be able to use the blue. I took the set to a local consignment shop and it sat in there for 3 months! I picked it up last week from them and posted it on the garage sale page and it sold within 20 mins for $35. I met the girl the next day. I think I only originally paid $20 for it in the first place!

Besides all my bargain hunting, we have a baby class this Saturday and then two next week. But other than that, I am still just "playing" with all her things in the nursery making sure we are ready to go! Also started packing my hospital bag. I am not a light packer so I got out the big momma suitcase. Nothing drives me more crazy than to want something and not have it so if I think I might want it, I am packing it! :-)

Oh and I did practice a bit with MM's carseat this past weekend.  

Wonder if her and Buster will be about the same size! :-)
