Baby Summary:
How far along I am: I'm currently 33 weeks and 1 day.
Weight Gain: Ugh, haven't weighed myself since my last appointment 12 days ago...
How I am feeling: Bad! I've turned the corner from feeling good to feeling 8 months pregnant! I feel like I need a fork lift to get out of bed in the morning. I constantly have that "thanksgiving full' feeling after I eat anything. My stomach gets tight and crampy whenever I walk any sort of distance and there is NO comfortable position to hold Mr. Brodeur. Not to mention my wu tang clan feels like I've been riding a bike a 100 miles on a really hard seat! I don't know why people ask pregnant women how they are feeling because my next response is going to be "Very pregnant, Asshole!"
Cravings: Hershey's Bliss White Chocolate with a creamy meltaway center... ahhhhh. (Thanks Kim and Deb!)
What I am looking forward to: Thanksgiving. And people no longer asking me "Looks like any day now?" and "How are you feeling?"
Concerns: None, really. Just eager to get Christmas shopping (started and) completed and getting Brody's clothes switched over to Jacob's room so I can put Austin's clothes away.
Updated, because I thought I was just a little too negative :)
What I am enjoying: My belly. All my life (even when I'm skinny) I'm totally self-conscious about my tummy. But, I love my baby belly (and I love other people's baby bellies too). Austin's kicks and punches. Every little pain and twinge of discomfort is forgotten when I feel my little guy give me a kick or tumble and I'm reminded that it's all worth it. I love knowing that I get to take Austin with me every where I go right now and I can keep him safe.
The other really nice thing about this pregnancy is that I'm not experiencing any of the questions or guilt that I had when I was pregnant with Brody. When I was pregnant with Brody it was SO HARD to imagine loving anyone as much as I love Jacob, but then Brody was born and I was filled with just as much love for that little guy from the first instant I saw him. And now, thankfully I no longer have that fear! I know I'm going to have three boys that I love so much it hurts :) I was also concerned about the lack of one on one time I would be able to give Jacob once Brody arrived, but that is no longer a concern this time around either because I know that we still get our opportunities to have one on one time and now they are just more special. And, I know and can tell the gift of a sibling to him (and soon to Brody) is the greatest gift ever (even when the bickering drives me insane). It melts my heart when I see them playing well together or showing concern for each other.
Anyways... next ob appointment is on Tuesday.

Oh, poor you! Sounds like symphysis pain...where the pelvis separates. Is that what your doc said? At least you're in the home stretch now! Hang in there! Relief is just around the corner!
I am sorry. I hope you are having a few good days in there. I can't believe you only have 7 weeks left!! CRAZY!! I am secretly jealous of how far along you are....can we trade?? :)
Charissa, I didn't know you were expecting too! Yay! When are you due?
