A daughter is the happy memories of the past, the joyful memories of the present, and the hope and promise of the future.

July 19, 2011 - Week 33

48 more days to go!!  Wowzers!!  Abby should weigh about 4.25 pounds and is about the size of a pineapple.  Each week from here on out (or for a good couple of weeks) she should put about a half pound on per week. 
Abbygale is still moving around!  She has such a small area to move in because I am so short that she is always squishing my insides (or so it feels like).  I have gotten to watch my belly wiggle when she is moving a bunch which is pretty cool!
We are organized for Miss Abbygale!  I spent one day this weekend organizing the house, including all of her stuff, and one day cleaning the house.  I am hoping we can keep it pretty clean and will just have to maintain it from here on out.  Fingers crossed because I am so big it is really hard for me to clean-clean anymore!  I got so exhausted this past weekend but the work had to be done!
I am feeling pretty good.  I am still tired and still have heartburn but the Zantac seems to help somewhat.  I’ve learned if I make myself completely exhausted I sleep better at night even though I have to wake up numerous times to use the rest room.  The dogs and Bryan don’t even wake up anymore when I get up throughout the night – they sleep straight through all my night adventures!  I have gained a bad pregnancy symptom though – it is the pregnancy snore and I am driving my husband nuts!  Part of the snoring is I am a little stopped up (I’ve must have gotten a minor summer cold).  I am ready for this to clear up so hopefully the snoring diminishes too!  Poor Bryan has threaten numerous times to move out of the master bedroom L
I had another check-up on Tuesday, July 19, with the Nurse Practitioner, Mariann Nielsen.  Abby’s heartbeat was about 160 and everything looked good and in the normal range.  I do now have swelling of the feet – they told me I know longer have ankles J They also said they thought Abby is head down already so she is slowly looking for her exit!!  I go back in two weeks and meet with Dr. Smith.
Here are Week 33 pictures! I can't believe only a few more weeks of pictures and then we can start taking pictures of Miss Abby!!
