WEEK 33

So the title of this post was originally WEEK 30. Soooo its been in my draft for 3 weeks now...
So I thought id finish it today while the little rascal is napping and Grey's Anatomy is on.

SOOOO.  33 WEEKS PREGNANT!

Well it flew by quick...

but from now on, im sure it is going to get slower. Since I remember the last months of my first pregnancy was sooooo dang sslllloooowwww!

Its crazy how different my 2 pregnancies has been.
31 weeks with baby girl
32 weeks with Hyrum. I guess I didnt take a 31 weeks photo.
At my last doctors appointment (last week) I was told I was measuring 2 weeks late. Everything else is going great with her development and such but she is just measuring on the small side. So on my next appointment they are going to check further but it could just mean that she is a small baby.

But, she could also still catch up in the next couple of weeks.

Because I was measuring small, I got another ultrasound which was great since the last time I saw the baby was at 18 weeks. And we found out that the babys head is way down with little or no chance of flipping over to a breech position.

GREAT NEWS! 
Seeing as I was very worried because I had a dream that she was breech and had to get a c-section.

As for other updates, I have terrible terrible round ligament pain and pretty constant heartburn (esp at night). My lower back is also a killer which makes standing, sitting, sleeping, walking and pretty much moving kinda uncomfortable. Although, im not complaining too much (besides to Maverick) because ive had a relatively easy pregnancy which I am very greatful for.

Most people (including me with my first) want to have the baby out as soon as it is full term which is 37 weeks. But, this time around, I want to keep this baby in as long as possible.

My reasons are:

- I already have a crazy life with a crazy toddler who needs my constant attention. A baby would need more attention which will result in a CRAZIER life.

- Maverick just got a new job (more about this on another post), and it is in a different town about 45mins away from where we live now so we would probably need to move sometime soon.

- My mum doesnt get here till the 22 January and im due 14 January. It would be nice to have my mum here for when the baby comes or at least as close to the delivery as possible to help with the crazy toddler.

- As much as I want to deny it, having 2 kids with birthdays close together will be easier and cheaper in the long run.

- Its a lot easier to keep a baby warm in utero than outside, especially in January (or in a couple weeks time) when it is going to be FREEZZINGGG!!!

So there yah go!
Stay inside now little girl. Ill put up with all the crazy things that you are putting my body through for 'convenience' purposes.
