33 weeks - Baby Koch #2


  • How far along?: 33 weeks + 4 days
  • Baby is the size of a: A Pineapple!! (according to Baby Bump app)
  • Total weight gain/loss: +21 pounds ... this last month has been INSANE and I feel like a blimp
  • Stretch Marks? The same ones... the weird white line on my side and the two small ones under my belly that I had with Amelia
  • The Bump: Feels huge! This week, little man was already measuring 34.5 weeks.
  • Symptoms: My back is aching all the time.  This may be from pregnancy or the cold that I have been fighting for a week.  Body aches all around.  Oddly, my right side pain has gone down!
  • Food cravings: Cinnamon life, chicken Ramen Noodles, Chicken Noodle Soup, all things dairy since I have to give it up in a few days
  • Anything Making Me Queasy or Sick: I still don't really like just eating chicken, but nothing is making me queasy which is wonderful.
  • Sleep:With this cold, I don't feel like I sleep at all.  Amelia has been down about 10 hours a night (not sleeping through though...), so I try and get as much as I can.
  • What I miss: My body at this point. Sleeping through the night.  Not being sick.
  • Weddings Rings On or Off: On! And not tight yet!!!
  • Any Names Picked Out Yet:  Theodore Michael =D
  • Gender: Boy... All boy!  He confirmed it again at the last ultrasound!
  • Movement: I didn't think little man could be more active than Amelia, but I was wrong!  He moves frequently during the day and doesn't stop from about 8pm on.  Theo gets hiccups a ton, but they only annoy me when I am trying to sleep.
  • Maternity Clothes: Pretty much all maternity pants at this point, or regular jeans unbuttoned with the belly band.  I am trying not to live in sweats this time around.
  • Labor Signs: Nothing yet!
  • Best Moment of the week:  Seeing Theo on the ultrasound (32.5 weeks) and hearing his heartbeat on Tuesday (33 weeks)
  • Feeling: Large... I am definitely more uncomfortable this time around.  Not sure if it is because I am not as active from not working, carrying a bigger baby or being sick.... but I am already to the "done" point and it's not near close to time for that!
  • What I’m excited about/looking forward to: My next doctors appointment marks the last 2 week checkup and on to WEEKLY checkups.  How is that possible?!  Only 46 days until our due date!  New Years Eve is tomorrow and I am so looking forward to what 2016 has to offer us and our family!  Also.... if we could all get rid of this cold, that would be lovely!
