33 weeks

I'm 33 weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 33 Weeks 1 day (48 days until my due date)
Size of baby: Baby Ortiz is the size of a honeydew melon
Total Weight Gain/Loss: gained 22 pounds

Maternity Clothes: I finally went shopping and I was pleasantly surprised at the pants at Motherhood Maternity in Cerritos Mall. I found three pairs!! Also, I made sure to buy shirts that I can wear after I have the baby, too.

Gender: It's a boy!

Movement: The movement of the baby has changed since the last time I blogged and I'm really enjoying it. I can still feel him kick and hiccup, but I can also feel him shift positions and I love when he pushes his back or butt out and part of my stomach gets hard and I pat on that area knowing that I'm tapping the baby.

Sleep: I've slept crappy since Saturday night, but I came down with a cold and I'm hoping that that's the only reason I'm waking up constantly.
What I miss: DIET COKE! I did fine the first couple of trimesters without it, but I'm dying for a gallon of it (specifically from McDonald's soda fountain, as soon as he's born).

Cravings: I just went to my first food truck fair and I had a grilled cheese and pulled pork sandwich that was delicious. I've been dreaming about it ever since... 

Symptoms: I feel a more frequent need to pee, have heartburn, my feet swell when I'm on them too much, and my gums are more sensitive (all of these symptoms and I still love being pregnant).

Best Moment this week: I had my first of three baby showers. It was thrown by my family and was so organized and sweet. I had a wonderful day, and I can't wait to celebrate with Marcos' family and our friends in a couple of weeks!

I'm 30 weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 30 Weeks 4 days (66 days until my due date)

Size of baby: Baby Ortiz is the size of a squash

Total Weight Gain/Loss: gained 19 pounds

Maternity Clothes: I finally went shopping and I was pleasantly surprised at the pants at Motherhood Maternity in Cerritos Mall. I found three pairs!! Also, I made sure to buy shirts that I can wear after I have the baby, too.

Gender: It's a boy!
Movement: Some days the baby is quiet and others, like yesterday, he can be very active and fun to play with. Marcos had a blast last night feeling him move, and I enjoy the little phrases that he says as the baby wiggles and kicks.
Sleep: I've been sleeping good. However, for the past week, my bladder decided that it was once again ready to wake me up, like clockwork, every night to use the restroom. I don't really mind being woken up, except now it's a little more difficult to get out of bed...
What I miss: DIET COKE! I did fine the first couple of trimesters without it, but I'm dying for a gallon of it (specifically from McDonald's soda fountain, as soon as he's born).
Cravings: Drumsticks without peanuts

Symptoms: I feel a more frequent need to pee, have heartburn, my feet swell when I'm on them too much, and my gums are more sensitive (all of these symptoms and I still love being pregnant).

Best Moment this week: Marcos and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary!
