33 Weeks

Look how big I'm getting!!! Here is the side by side of me at 33 and 23 weeks. Pretty impressive the difference 10 weeks make. 

• Baby has run out of room. Mostly rolling, stretching and hiccups now. Nice because he doesn't wake me up at night but it is getting even harder to breathe. Little elbows and knees can be pretty pointy though when they move across my belly. 
• Bending over. Most likely not going to happen again till baby comes. lol
• He still prefers my right side. I'm sure if/when I get stretch marks it will be there. 
• I couldn't even stand to look at sweets in first two trimesters. Now my sweet tooth has come back with a vengeance! All I want is sugar!! Probably because baby is putting on some serious fat now. 
• Started off great taking Iron again but it slowly started making me more and more sick! Now I know if I take it I will not be doing anything else that day. Something about being pregnant just doesn't let me take pills. Funny because I took prenatals for two years before getting pregnant without any problems at all.  At least I've stopped craving ice and feel like I have a little more energy so it must be helping at least a little. 
• So happy to be cooking again! Still don't love trying to figure out what I want to make but being in the kitchen makes me happy. 
• Starting to see a pattern with baby. He will be very still one or two days and then right after goes through a huge growth spurt! This happens about every other week. When it does my whole tummy will ache even when he is not moving. After that I feel like I double in size and he goes back to normal movement. My baby app says this week baby could grow up to a full inch! 
• Braxton Hicks contractions are real. These are the practice contractions your uterus does to prep for the real ones later. At any time during the day but especially at night my belly will tighten up and get really hard for a minute or two. They don't really hurt yet but you know when they are happening!
