33 Week Pic
Sorry I took it with my phone in the bathroom (classy right?!) and it's grainy...and hello definitely put on some weight in my face haha
Weekly Update: Week 33
I'm going with Jin's style because I think it's easier to read!
Countdown:
82.5% through pregnancy, 46.2% through 3rd tri. 50 days until due date, 29 days until full term. 7 weeks of work left (If I go to the end)
How big is baby?
Let’s see. If we’re gaining 8 ounces a week I'm guessing here but since I saw rolls a few weeks ago I'm going with she's either right below or right at 5lbs now.
Weight gain/loss?
Up 35lbs as of last doctors visit so I'm going with 36 this week (let's hope)
Stretchies?
None...I'm knocking on wood. Very lucky. The boobs have started to mesh with my regular color skin whoot!
Sleep?
I’m sleeping through the night (minus the pee breaks every hour past midnight) but it’s not restful sleep
Best Moment?
Getting Ava's baby book in and filling it out to when she arrives :)
Movement?
Serious rolling. Every time I think she's flipped to head down then I feel to hard spots in a different position and I never know. Her hick up's are super intense now hah
Food Cravings?
Nothing out of the ordinary
Labor Signs?
Having Braxton Hicks and they are getting much more severe
What I’m looking forward to next week?
Finally seeing my real doctor for my 34 week appointment. I haven't seen her since Week 20 since she was on leave herself and then getting acclimated. I'll be very interested to see how she reacts to my size haha
Weekly Wisdom?
Take it easy and put your feet up. When the baby comes all you should worry about doing is sleeping, and feeding Ava (my wonderful mother in law is going to be an awesome help)
Emotions?
For the sake of my marriage I am so happy I have evened out haha
This Week:
Nursery is finished as far as everything needed. I just need to clear off the Hutch and make it look pretty. Both Ava and my bags are packed and in her room just hanging out waiting patiently :) I'm going to be clearing out a cabinet in our kitchen for all of her bottles and the sanitizer. We're also buying an additional storage unit for the bathroom so that we have a place to put Ava's bajillin things :) Vacuuming my car out and cleaning out my trunk to get prepared for installing the car seat and putting the stroller in the trunk. I think that's enough for one week don't you?!

Whoa...
Ok yah so it says 51 days until my due date but holy crap I just did the calculations and only 30 until October 23rd which is considered Full Term and that happens to be Mr. B's bday so he kind of is secretly hoping she goes then.
30 Days....what???????????
Now that makes it very real!
I actually think it would be cute for them to share a bday but want her to go a little later because that puts me back at work the Monday after New Years and I'd much rather start back up on the 10th or 17th (if she goes to the end).
As luck would have it I was complaining on FB a couple of weeks ago about being wait listed still for many Daycares despite calling and being put on the wait list months ago. Well Mr. B's cousin used to work at the one that was Mr. B's first choice (happened to be really expensive) and she said do not take your child there and she actually quit.
Well she was chatting and it came about that her little brother who's about 16 his girlfriend works at a daycare in my area on the way to work in the afternoons and she thought they had spots open for infants and it was 150 a week (which is what we were prepared to spend)
I just called and she said that one lady is ahead of me and she's due in October so she'll need to start right at the beginning of January but they have one spot open so that will go to her and a baby graduates to the 1 year old room in January so that could be my spot.
She said it was looking very very hopeful and promising that I would get in when I need it and she put me on the wait list.
She really wants me to stop by which of course I would definitely do that before putting Ava there. I love when the places say stop in whenever because that gives me a better indicator on how Ava will be treated vs when they want us to schedule and appointment with the Director because then they'll be prepared.
She said that the 1 year old teacher is great but the infant teacher is so fantastic that parents actually get upset when their children reach 1 because they love her so much and they end up loving the 1 year old teacher too but you get used to your child being with someone for 9-10 months I can understand how it might be hard to transition over.
But now the problem is figuring out when I can just pop in because I have finally worked out a deal with my boss about staying later on days of the week when I have my doctors appointments but I always pick the earliest appointment because that ensures I actually get seen fairly close the the appointment time and can get to work faster. Very rarely does my doctor ever have an appointment later than 3 and I really need it to be 3:30 ish so I only have to stay late 2 days vs 3 days. And then if I could manage a late appointment I could have time to stop by but then I wouldn't want to stop by when everyone would be picking up their kids because I'm sure that would be stressful as well.
So who knows. But when I do go in and see if I like it I'm going to ask if I can pay the registration fee then and maybe ensure my spot. I understand them wanting money right away so if someone walked in and wanted to start tomorrow and they were making an extra 150 a week they would take that instead of waiting until January but I think it will be good. We'll see

Lists...Lists...and More Lists
Ok so I've been a list making fool! haha
But it's one thing to make a list and it's another to actually follow through.
My lists recently were for my hospital stay bag and Ava's as well.
Today I ran to Target to try and get some things.
I got me...
Small deodorant
Small toothbrush/toothpaste pack
Lip Balm
Small Shampoo/Conditioner
Small face wash
A nursing bra (I guessed on the size and got a 38 DD since they are 38D's now...I hear they get bigger but heck how am I to know what size they'll be?)
A nursing tank top
Some black kind of bikini briefs figuring black was best those first few days haha
I looked at PJ's but didn't want to pay that much at target for something I have at home.
I have a few pairs of black pj/yoga pants that I can bring and I'll live in those and my nursing bra most likely.
Then I can just bring some socks from home and a zip up hoodie or sweatshirt
and my other little things
I also picked out the outfit that I want Ava's pictures to be in but I'll run it by Mr. B first.
And then I have 2 outfits for her going home. One are actually PJ's but they are cute and the other the in law's got so I feel like I should have her wear it.
The baby book is finally on it's way ugh...the one I had on my registry got taken off and then it was at Kohl's but then before I could order it was discontinued poop.
So I found one on Target's site but it's being sent via usps so who really knows when I'll get it. I'd like to update some things in there before she comes but then need to make sure that goes into my bag so they can do her foot print.
Oh and I started leaking today...but just out of my right boob haha I felt something kind of cool but nothing serious. So when I went to the bathroom and checked it was there...not a lot but I was like dang I wish I would've bought some pads for the maternity bra haha
And then I happened to find a cute polka dot sheet for Ava's mattress because you need extra for sure. Right now we have the one on that came with the set, and I had bought a striped one from Target a while back and then Mr. B's cousin gave us a sheet but it doesn't go at all with the bedding and will only be used as a last resort if others are dirty so I figured one more can't hurt.
And nobody bought the other changing table cover so I wanted to have a spare for when there are accidents.
Then I got her some noonies just to have in her bag ready to go.
And then haha I wanted to get a light for her room and they had a white base lamp on clearance for like 2.50!!! The shade was 8 eh but oh well a lamp for 10.50 can't beat it right?!
Not sure where I'm going to put it but I'm going to put a low lit bulb in there so I can see what I'm doing at night.
Well Mr. B in law got the job in Texas and it looks like he'll be flying tomorrow or Wednesday to go start! Crazy! I don't know when we'll see him though because he said he's going to help with putting Ava's wall letter's up but I doubt that will happen and Mr. B and I will have to do it and then I should just do it on my own haha.
Mr. B is going out of town starting tomorrow but he'll be back Thursday...I told him he better get his traveling in this week, next, and the week after because after that I don't feel comfortable with him traveling. I'll be 35 weeks at that point and that will just be too close unless he's staying somewhere like Lake Charles which is about 2 hours away from the hospital.
I didn't sleep well at all last night! My back was killing me ugh...and of course the Saints game doesn't start until 7:30 tonight so I'll most likely not make it through the whole thing unfortunately. oh well
I'm running to get Hooters for us....I always think it's funny being pregnant beboping into Hooters...hey at least these big bad boys are real...doubt the men would want leaky big boobs but hey you never know haha

poop
Literally.
This flu thing that I have sucks...
I never like to puke, or poop well when I mean poop I mean gross all the time poop (told you I'd be honest on here) but honestly being pregnant and sick is the worst!
You have to eat because you have a baby to take care of but honestly the thought of eating makes me want to puke!
And then when I do eat I poop
So I'm in a no win situation.
Water makes me feel sick too.
I went and laid on the floor in my conference two different times for 30 minutes each today and that wasn't bad but as soon as I get up I'm feeling it.
I hope I feel well enough tomorrow for the game darn it!
