33 weeks

How far along are you? 33 weeks + 1 day. (6 weeks & 6 days to go) 

Current cravings?  Nectarines have been really good this past week. I wish summer fruit was always this good.


Belly button in or out? Definitely flat, sometimes sticking out.


Gender? Boy!

Any milestones?  I have less than 50 days to go. Not sure if that’s a milestone but it sure makes it feel close. I have 48 days to go as of this morning.

Other symptoms? Connor & I caught a cold this week. It’s not very fun but I’ve certainly had worse colds. There is also definitely a baby head in my pelvis. I can feel it when I walk. Doctor confirmed at my appointment last week that he has indeed dropped.

Anything different between this pregnancy & last?  I have a mixture of anxiety & excitement about Connor becoming a big brother. He loves babies & seems excited about the baby coming but I still worry about the adjustment. I’m sure we’ll have some struggles but we’ll take those as they come.

What I miss? Not waddling to the bathroom 2 or 3 times per night.    

What I’m looking forward to? My last day of work is THIS Friday. This is my last Monday & I’m so excited.   


Working on any projects? Pouf I was working on is pretty much done. Just a little more knitting & then it needs to be stuffed & finished up.

I went out & bought new bedding this weekend. We had a mishmash of items that never was anything too exciting. I finally bought some quality pieces & it feels so good to climb into a nice, well-made bed.

There is basically a never ending to-do list that will get even longer once the baby is here. I better get crackin’.

32 weeks

How far along are you? 32 weeks + 1 day

Current cravings?  Cream puffs. The little frozen ones. It’s a good thing they need to stay frozen & I have to defrost each serving or we would have a serious problem.


Belly button in or out? Definitely flat, sometimes sticking out.


Gender? Boy!

Any milestones?  None that I can think of. Although, saying that I have less than 8 week to go makes it feel really close.

Other symptoms? Pelvic pain. Sleeping is getting difficult. I’m rolling over multiple times a night to get comfy. Movement is different than it was a few weeks ago. It’s still very frequent but he definitely has less room to give forceful kicks. Mostly I’m feeling pushing & stretching. I’m feeling when he has hiccups too.

Anything different between this pregnancy & last?  I’m pretty sure this pelvic pain didn’t start until Connor dropped (around 34 weeks). This little guy might have dropped a little this last week. I definitely feel him lower down in my pelvis.

What I miss? I miss the days when my bladder wasn’t a pillow.   

What I’m looking forward to? My last day of work. Less than 2 weeks! I’m also looking forward to Connor meeting his baby brother for the first time. He loves babies & he seems really excited for him to come.  


Working on any projects? Unpacking still; although things are getting better. I’ve also got a list going of everything I need to do before he gets here. My mom, Connor & I are taking a trip to Montana the Sunday after my last day of work. Once I get back, that to-do list is going to be attacked.

30 weeks

How far along are you? 30 weeks + 2 days

Current cravings? Avocados!


Belly button in or out? Definitely flat, sometimes sticking out.


Gender? Boy!

Any milestones?  Um, how am I already in the 30’s? I’m 75% done!

Other symptoms? Pelvic pain. Sleeping is getting difficult. I’m rolling over multiple times a night to alleviate the hip pain.

Anything different between this pregnancy & last?  I’m pretty sure this pelvic pain didn’t start until Connor dropped (around 34 weeks). This one hasn’t dropped yet but I wouldn’t be surprised if he did sooner rather than later.

What I miss? I miss the days when my bladder wasn’t a pillow.   

What I’m looking forward to? My last day of work. I have so many projects I want to get done around the house. I’m just ready to be done. I’m counting my blessings that I get to stop working though; I just wish it was here now. 3 ½ weeks to go! 


Working on any projects? Unpacking still. I unpacked a HUGE box last night so I felt good about that. I wish it was happening sooner but I just try to remind myself that I’m growing a baby 24 hours a day. It’s not going to happen as fast as if I wasn’t pregnant. More tonight! Also, Garrett has completed the media center?? (not sure what to call it). Both TV’s are mounted with no cords in sight. At first I was nervous that he was putting holes in my brand new walls but he did a great job. Now all of the components are hidden away in a closet (accessible from both the living room & bedroom TV’s) and no cluttery cords in either room. All hidden away, nice & neat.
