33 weeks – on time for once.

Here is the “really not so exciting” 33 weeks shot.

33 weeks side

I’m noticing that I’m rapidly getting more and more uncomfortable and horror of all horrors….i really don’t fit all that well into non- maternity clothes….and by clothes, I mean mostly shirts.

I’ve pretty much worn the same pair of maternity jeans since about 11 weeks pregnant. Which, in and of itself is amazing for me as I’ve typically worn one maternity size (ie large or extra large) for the first half of the pregnancy and then switched to the next size up (extra large or XXL) for the last half.

But, I’ve managed to hold steady on my size and for that I’m supremely grateful. Although, I can no longer consider that I fit into my pre-pregnancy pants even with the elastic in the button hole trick. I foresee a lot of skirt wearing over the next 7 weeks as I’m not about to buy any new maternity clothes.

The shirt that I’m wearing in this picture……

33 weeks front

…….I bought recently from Superstore’s Joe line and its a large. I woulda bought an extra large, but they didn’t have any BUT…I figured that for 10 bucks I could get some wear out of it now and then be able to wear it the rest of the summer.

I do plan on checking out Old Navy in the next few weeks and picking up a few of their LOOOOOONG layering tanks. I’m hoping that they will get me through the rest of the weeks and then be suitable for the “after the baby” time this summer.

I really have not much else exciting to report on. I’ve been really careful about what I’m eating (read as eating only mostly healthy foods) and drinking massive amounts of water and I have not had too much trouble with swelling over this past week.

I have also figured out that if I tighten up all my core muscles and use them to hold my hips in place when I’m standing and sitting or rolling around in bed then they don’t hurt nearly as much as they have been. And so….I’ve been walking around clenching my butt cheeks together like I’m holding a twoonie. I figure that the worse that can come of this is that I end up with a tighter butt….which can’t be all that bad, eh?

I’m still feeling like I’m drugged during the day, and then am awake at least until midnight or beyond; but seem to wake up every morning at 6am regardless……I roll over and go back to sleep OBVIOUSLY! But, I really don’t get what’s up. If I’m tired, why can’t I just get a good night sleep. Oh well….

It’s only just for a short time longer and then I’ll be experiencing tired on a WHOLE NEW LEVEL….

But, I seem to be able to handle the tired because “I’m not sleeping” much WAY better then the tired because “I’m growing a separate being” inside of me.

Oh well….7 weeks to go. YAHOO!
