33 weeks.

week: 33

baby stats: for fruit this week, we've got durian fruit (what is that?) and pineapple.  so, a little over 4 pounds and probably around 17-18 inches.  this week is supposedly a growth spurt week and smalls is running out of room in my uterus, according to the internet.  ha. skeleton is hardening and wrinkles are decreasing, so s/he is looking more like a newborn every day. 

aversions/cravings: i want a big cheeseburger with grilled onions from five guys.  and a few sips of coke.  and french fries.  but mostly i'm ok. 

bump: measuring exactly at 33 weeks or so, so that is nice - i guess i can assume that doesn't mean i am going to have a 16 pounder...at our appointment on wednesday, smalls had flipped to head down (YAY!), so i am excited that things seems to be moving in the right direction.  a random idiot i work with just told me i look like i'm about to pop, but i don't think i'm anywhere close to the about to pop stage. 

worries: i'm doing ok.  the holiday was stupendous for my mental state - i had a chiro appointment, obgyn appointment, massage (from my birthday gift back in august), and 5 days off with my cute family.  my blood sugar has been in check - the midwife told me the fasting levels in the morning are the most important, and there's not a ton i can actually do about those, so we will keep an eye on them and decide whether or not to medicate.  so far, i'm staying below 95 more days than not, so no meds yet.  hoping to stay that way so i can avoid an induction and pharmaceutical intervention. 

boy or girl?: emme still says girl.  i still say boy.  justin changes his mind daily. 

missing the most: being able to comfortably hold my toddler, and get up and down from the floor with ease. 

pregnancy milestone: i made it through my first holiday with gestational diabetes.  ha!  i think christmas will be much harder (and longer), but i did well for thanksgiving and it wasn't as hard as i thought it would be.  i also got almost all the bebe's clothes/bedding/blankets/etc. washed this weekend, so that is huge.  i even washed my boppy and will pick up a new cover for it and then be pretty much ready, i think.  need to set up the bassinet and find/buy a new bouncy chair and probably some 0-3 month clothes, but mostly things are getting there.  my sprinkly last week was really nice - i have some lovely friends.
