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!
