33 weeks

How far along? 33 weeks
Baby is the size of a...Durian Fruit (whatever that is), Pineapple (17" long & 5 lbs)
Total weight gain? 27 lbs
Symptoms? Having mid and lower back pain more often than not and definitely worse at night.  It is still tolerable most of the time and stretching or massage helps.  
Contractions? I am definitely having Braxton Hicks every day.  Though some days I have them more often than others. They don't hurt or bother me, just have a very hard stomach.  We joke that it is the closest thing I have to a 6-pack right now! :) I didn't realize what they were until I talked to the Dr at my 32 week appt.  The doctor said that she isn't worry about them at all unless they become painful.
Food cravings? Still loving fruit & won't turn down sweets
Sleeping? No complaints...still sleeping through the night!!
Belly button popped? Stayed the same the last few weeks...thinking (and hoping) that is the way it will stay.
Feeling any movement? Same as the last few weeks
Swelling? Nope
Best moment this week? Meeting Baby Brody Patz!
Working out? Boot camp, prenatal yoga, pilates, few walks with Gibson
This Week's To Do? Choose newborn photographer, meet with a potential pediatrician

We had our last Birth Prep Class on Wednesday where we focused on the stuff that happens after delivery.  That was a bit of an eye opening experience.  There are definitely some things I am not looking forward to...but at least they are only short term!

On Friday we went down to Colorado Spring to meet Baby Brody Patz!  What a little cutie!  Being at the hospital holding a day old baby, definitely made things a little more real for both Jason and I.  We aren't that far away from being there ourselves!

Saturday we went car shopping for me.  My lease is up in March and we figured it was going to be much easier to go test drive a vehicle without a baby and car seat. I am wanting a SUV with 3 rows.  We test drove 4 SUVs and narrowed it down to a couple that I really liked. We are hoping there will be some good deals at Christmas.

On Sunday we cleaned out the office which had become our storage room for anything and everything the last year but will now be the playroom.  We then put together the miscellaneous baby stuff...i.e. pack&play, swing, bouncer, car seat.  I also washed all the clothes and blankets and put them all away.  We have some a little more organizing to do and need to find a place for bottles and kids bowls and stuff in the kitchen but we are getting there.  We also met with a couple of newborn photographers. We need to take one last look at their portfolios online and make a decision.  Pretty soon everything is going to be done and all we are going to have left is just waiting until Baby B decides to come.  :)

Oh and I will post some more pictures of the nursery soon!

Baby B has taken over the "office" now as well!
