How Far Along: 33 Weeks 3 Days (6 weeks 4 days until due date)
Size of baby: 17 inches long and weighs a little over 4 pounds (a pineapple)
Gender: Girl - Emma
Maternity Clothes: Yes, all maternity.
Weight gain: + 16 pounds (official measurement from Thursday's visit with the doctor)
Movement: Yes, her movements are slower and have moved up into my ribs; her butt digs into my ribs. Feeling Emma move is the best feeling; I feel like she's telling me that she's okay in there.
Symptoms: Uncomfortable. Emma being right under my ribs has made my upper belly ache/hurt. My right side and back is also aching. Increased appetite. Some acid reflux.
What I miss: Not much. I'm trying not to complain too much. ;)
Cravings: hot chocolate. egg nog. margarita.
Best moment this week: Good doctor's visit.
What I am looking forward to: Christmas time with the family. I can't believe that next Christmas, we'll be a family of 3; I can't wait to start holiday traditions with Emma! Maternity photos on Thursday.
Doctor's appointment recap: Hemoglobin and urine were good; this should be the last time that the hemoglobin will be tested - they have been doing it every two months since I've been testing well. Weight gain was + 2 pounds from last time, right on track. Blood pressure was my normal low. Fundal height is measuring right on track and Emma's heartbeat was great! The doctor checked Emma's positioning and Emma was still head down, with her little butt up. I'll go back in two weeks and will be tested for Group Strep B.
