Lucky No. 7

Today I am 33 weeks along!
That means..
SEVEN weeks to my due date!
FIVE weeks til the same week Noah came!
And only FOUR weeks til I am full term!!
We are getting closer!! SO excited! :)

Name status: Noah still thinks we should name the baby Benico HaHa. I am still loving Everett, and Stephen is still liking Ethan (at least I think, he hasn't said otherwise HaHa).

I'm definitely feeling more pregnant. Tummy is tight and itchy as the skin is stretching. Starting to have pelvic pain, which my doctor says is normal and will probably just get worse until baby comes. If I thought I wasn't sleeping well before I was mistaken, really not sleeping well at all now days. BUT I'm still loving being pregnant despite all the aches, pains, and discomforts! I am excited to see how much my belly grows these next few weeks! ...Though, I'm at that point where I'm getting more excited to have baby boy here than anything else!

Had a doctor's appointment on Monday. Everything still looks great! I have gained 25 lbs. so far, I'm measuring right on, and everything looks good. Also had an ultrasound Monday to check on my previous partial placenta previa. Placenta has moved out of the way completely (yay!..but I wasn't worried, we knew it would!), and baby looks great! Ultrasound tech said the baby is measuring about 4 lbs. 11 oz., but that is just an estimate, however, if he really is close to that, that means he will probably be bigger than Noah, more of an average-size baby. (Noah was only 5 lbs 3 oz. my tiny little guy!) The ultrasound also said I'm measuring about a week ahead, putting my due date at March 17th, but the tech said the farther along you get the less accurate that measurement is because all babies grow so differently. So of course they won't be moving my due date, but it is kind of exciting to think I could go a week early and it would be like making it to my due date. I would be happy to go earlier than my due date..not too early, just a week or so early and as long as everything is ok with baby boy!
I go to 2-week appointments now, and my next appointment is Valentine's day! What a fun V-day gift for me HeHe.

We started clearing out baby's room last night. Hopefully we can pick the paint color and get it painted sometime next week, if not at least we have made some progress with that. Hoping to get the stuff to make baby's mobile and wall hangings this weekend so I can work on it during "down time"...those are both mostly just for fun. ;) I want to get one of my maternity prints printed to put in his room as well.

So we are really getting toward the end! So exciting and so crazy! :)

I can't wait to meet my little guy! To see his little features and hear his little cry! I am excited to see how Noah will interact with baby! I am excited and nervous for the big life change! I know having baby boy here will make our family more complete! :)
