33 Weeks Baby is the size of a Durian...BTW what the heck is a Durian

On Wed 12/12/12 little baby girl hit 33 weeks. Bryan and I went to a newborn 101 class on Thursday. It had some really good tips and then a bunch of things that luckily we both already knew. The instructor was nice, but she would get off topic easily. It was cute to see Bryan diaper the fake baby. I think he will do great when it comes to his own daughter. Looking around the class you could see a lot of beginners who really didn't have a clue. So it was nice to feel like we were pretty on top of the game.

Funny enough I was more nervous before the class about the actual birth and then somehow I came out of the class more freaked out about breast feeding and feeding in general more than anything. The nurse seemed to give some conflicting information about how often/how much a baby eats and the amount of oz etc that should be in their bottle. So now I am really nervous and concerned about that. So I need to find and read some more information to help calm down the fears and nerves that I am having.

Yep same shirt as the week before

How far along?33 Weeks
Total weight gain: 36lbs...gulp
Stretch marks? no news ones I lather on that palmers cocoa butter like there is no tomorrow! 
Sleep? I have good nights and bad nights. Mostly not the best. I do have a pregnancy pillow that helps once in a while, but it is massive and leaves little room for the hubby. Back pain and hip pain are common but I know I am not alone in this.

Best moment this week: Non baby related-secret santa at work was a lot of fun!
Miss Anything: Being able to get up from the couch/bed with out feeling like an old lady and being able to shop and run errands with out getting exhausted
Movement:She moves a lot still. But recently her movements have gotten to be uncomfortable and even painful at times. There is just a lot less room in there for her to do her thing. But, she does favor my right side and likes to hang out there. Ohh and it is weird I can feel her move big time and see her through my clothes, but when I try and lift up my shirt and get a better view she stops. I have heard from other it is because the skin in opaque and she can sense the light so when I pull my shirt back down then she goes to town again, LOL.

Food cravings:nothing really. There is a lot less room and it has made my appetite dwindle big time, but then I will go in spurts and be famished.
Labor Signs:  Not that I am aware of. 
Belly Button in or out? in
Wedding rings on or off?  off recently due to all the swelling.
Happy or Moody most of the time: moments of both.
Looking forward to: Spending some time with my sister before the baby gallagher arrives
