33 weeks

Two thumbs up for a new tank top that actually fits well!  Two thumbs down for the rest of my shirts that get shorter by the day.
I'm finally starting to feel big and uncomfortable, and I even waddle at times.  It's pretty sad.  I'm always reminding Rodney to slow down his pace when we're walking somewhere.

I had a particularly restless night of sleep last night and I'm absolutely exhausted today.  I have to admit, when I feel this bad from sleeping all night (albeit poorly), I wonder how I'll do when I'm up every 2-3 hours at night and still have a baby to take care of the next day.  It's a scary thought, but I know that my body (and motherly instincts) will pull through and do what it has to do. 

Bruce is getting so big and his movements continue to change week to week.  This week he is doing lots of rolling and much less actual kicking.  He changes positions constantly, and although it's hard for me to determine what body part is what, I can usually tell his position by where I feel the hiccups.  Sunday morning I felt them high on the right.  Yesterday morning they were in the middle left, and last night they were low left.  He is all over the place in there, but his favorite spot is still my right side up by my ribs.  I spend a lot of time putting gentle pressure up there and pushing him down.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

You want to hear the fun part about writing thank you notes?  Going to the store (any store) and picking out new cute cards every time you run out.  The bad part about writing thank you notes?  The price of stamps!  I am so grateful for all of our wonderful showers, but it hurts my heart to have to pay that much for each stamp.

And in the final note of interest this week...I am officially on Belly Button Watch 2010.  At some point last week I noticed the top of my belly button was starting to pop out, and the rest is soon to follow, I'm sure.  I'm ok with where it's at now, but I think I'll be ok if it pops too.

Wow, did that last week fly by or is it just me? I swear I just read your 32 week update! How amazing! Hope you get some more sleep tonight... I always think about how if I think I'm tired now, just wait until the baby is here! Jeesh.... I don't know what I'll do then! haha Though, I suppose you're right... Mommy instinct will kick in and we'll get through it. Looking great as always!
