Bumpdate - 33 Weeks (plus a bonus 3D U/S!)

As Emeril Lagassi would say "Bam!" and there's a bump! LOOK AT IT! It came out of nowhere!

What's baby up to this week? She is the size of a pineapple, measuring over 17" long and weighs a little over 4 pounds. She is rapidly losing that wrinkled look, by the looks of our 3D ultrasound we did she has the cutest chubby cheeks. Her skeleton is hardening, although the bones in her head aren't fused together which allows them to move and slightly overlap, making it easier for her to fit through the birth canal. These bones don't entirely fuse until early adulthood so they can grow as the brain and other tissues expand throughout infancy and childhood. At my doctor's appointment last Friday she had a good solid heart rate of 147 although my fundal height measurement was a little small, my doctor didn't seem at all concerned with. He thought she might be breech, but at our 3D they confirmed shes still got her head down by my bladder....which I can attest to frequently. 

What's been going on with mom? I am tired every day! As she grows larger, I just seem to get more and more tired. Sleep is better depending on the day, although it was awful over the weekend because of my excitement about my baby shower, I'll post on that soon I promise! Emotional times were had as well as just being completely overwhelmed! Baby girl is so blessed already!

Symptoms: Same story as last week: exhaustion, heartburn, acne, mild charlie horses, emotional, hip cramps (even with the pillow!)

Yummy/Icky: ICE COLD water...probably due to the 100+ degree temps that plagued the southland last week. At least it cooled off for the weekend.

Clothing: All maternity on the bottom! Mostly on top as well. I did find a couple of cute maternity tops at Ross, although their selection was crappy....at least I have some hot weather stuff to wear!

Movement: Lots of rolling and stretching. Sometimes I feel the hard kicks and punches, when it's time for bed, but mostly shes just trying to find room!

Belly Button In/Out: Teeny tiny!

Wedding Rings On/Off: On, can still get tight.....hopefully the will stay on! If the weather continues to be hot, I have a feeling they will be retired to a chain.

Best Moment this Week: Definite the baby shower and spending time with my mom and step mom!

Looking forward to: Resting! I know....lame. But this 3 day Memorial Day weekend is screaming my name "sleep and put your feet up!"

Below is this weeks chalkboard and some cute shots of Miss Emma from our 3D ultrasound! Of course in true fashion the arm was in her face the whole time! But the tech managed to get some good images!

Little grin, once she finally removed her hand from her face!

Rubbing her face! Look at that little hand!

Little ear....looks like daddies! Does this child have any of my features?

Chubby cheeks!
