33 Weeks

33 weeks

The Belly:

Hi Point: Talking more with the massage therapist about working with me during labor. I have another massage set up when I'm 35 weeks, so hopefully after that I will be good to stay in our hometown hospital to deliver (versus going to a neighboring town with a NICU) and she will be able to come and assist during labor. I didn't have an epidural with either of the first two, which is not to say I won't be screaming for one this time, but I hope that having her there will help me to work through some of the harder moments of labor.

Lo Point: Finding out that my midwife will be out of town for 2 straight weeks...exactly when I am reaching full term. I've been told to hold tight until 38 weeks. I would have laughed out loud at that prospect (although it might very well happen) if I hadn't been about to burst into tears.

Siblings: Every time I do something to prepare for baby...wash baby clothes, put something away in the nursery, etc, Lilly-Belle wants to know if the baby is coming "today". She asks, "Baby is coming today?" I say, "Not today." One day that will be a lie. :)

Cravings: Pecan Pie...like lots of it. I can't even be mad when it shows up on the scale next week.

Lbs: +34

Looking Forward To: Seeing our little ButterBean on Tuesday when we have an ultrasound to check on baby's size and position! I want to see that sweet face again!
