Pregnancy Update

I have been terrible at updating my blog lately...ooops.  But I thought I should document a few things about this pregnancy.

As of yesterday, I am 33 weeks along.  Hooray!  I am always worried about preterm labor throughout my pregnancy, so it has been a huge relief to make it this far without anything significant happening.  I haven't been taking weekly pictures of my belly this time around, so you won't be able to see how fat I am getting.  But I have been really surprised how different this pregnancy has been from being pregnant with Sophie.  Here are some of my observations:
  • I was constantly starving with Sophie.  I frequently had to get up in the middle of the night for a snack with Sophie, but that hasn't happened at all this time.  In fact, I haven't really been very hungry this pregnancy.  No weird food cravings.  I can wake up in the morning and don't even really feel like eating breakfast.
  • My feet were really puffy with Sophie and I had to wear my "fat shoes" most of the time.  I can still see my ankle bones this time and don't seem to be retaining water.
  • I still hate bending over to pick things up--which happens all the time cleaning up after an almost 2 year old.
  • I still need to pee all the time and am uncomfortable at night.  But it seems to be more temperature dependent and I don't sleep well when it's hot.
That's all I can think of at the moment.  Only 4 more weeks until I am officially full term.  My doctor has already agreed to induce me a week early because my labor with Sophie was so fast, so I only have 6 more weeks to go.  I need to get busy getting her room put together and preparing to have a baby in the house again.
