How Big is Baby Anthony?

How far along? 33 weeks!
Waist measurement: 48.5 inches
Total weight gain/loss: up 17.5 lbs. 212.5 lbs. just about on track again. Been really watching the bad foods as much as possible
How much does Baby weigh?: 4.5 lbs
Maternity clothes? but of course!
Stretch marks? They are there. Growing and turning bright red-ish/purple on me.
Sleep: sleep is getting harder and harder now, but that's to be expected when you can't flip over easily. Getting up to pee 2-3 times a night makes long stretches of sleep kinda hard too...
Best moment this week: Actually, my best moment this week was unrelated to baby. Our kitty recognized us when we went to visit her, which was such a relief. Plus we've been packing like crazy so that's a huge relief!
Movement: still very active.
Food cravings: cereal, milk, cheetos, orange soda, and some salty snacks.
Gender: I was right! Its a BOY!
Labor Signs: still just the BH contractions. Nothing to get excited about.
Belly Button in or out?: in, but super shallow. Just about 1/8 inch deep now. Lookin kinda funny!
What I miss: breathing deeply and shaving my legs. UGH I hate not being able to daily anymore!
What I am looking forward to: the next appointment. Can't wait for the next ultrasound. I wanna see my baby Anthony again! We get our next ultrasound at the next appointment so that's awesome! Plus I have my family shower coming up this weekend. I'm SO excited!

A medicine ball! Those things are getting big!
Starting at about week 26, your baby has slept and awoken at regular intervals. He closes his eyes when he sleeps, and he'll even dream during the last month before birth. No one knows what babies dream about in the womb, but they show reactions ranging from frowns and smiles to crying and kicking. Asleep or awake, you may feel the kicks in a new place around now--in your rib cage, just below your breasts--as he moves into the head-down position where he'll probably stay until birth.

Baby’s senses are continuing to improve -- when light peeks in through your (extremely) stretched belly, those tiny eyelids and irises blink and dilate. And, baby can now recognize and react to simple songs… time to start practicing your lullabies! Growth (at least inside your womb) is starting to slow, and you may notice baby descend into your pelvis at the end of this month.
