Almost there... countdown is on. 

How Far Along: 33 weeks!
Size of baby: Celery

Sleep: Rough. Getting super uncomfortable, have this slight pain in my back on the left side and to make matters worse, Emma has completely regressed when it comes to sleep, so now I have to lay with her until she falls completely asleep (with my arms around her) and then she wakes up all through the night, at least once or twice and Brian goes in there and sleeps with her. Or sometimes I will, but it's mainly Brian, because I am not comfortable and need to pee all the time. We had to transition her out of her crib because she was climbing out, but to be honest, I dont think she was ready and now we're dealing with a nightmare.. ugh, right when you feel like things are figured out. 
Total Weight Gain: I am 185. Sounds massive and starting to feel huge, but considering I was about here with Emma at this time, that doesn't seem terrible since I started out at a much higher weight with this one. 
Symptoms: Large and in charge. Feel the itchy belly because of the stretching. 
Movement: Yes! Love the movements, need to stay on top of my kick counter. 
Maternity Clothes: Not buying new ones, have enough from before. Wish I didn't sell any of them at that garage sale though :P
Go-to eats: Sweet tooth. So bad! 
Best moment of the week(s): Well I am heading to Palm Springs this weekend for my 35th birthday weekend with Vee, Rinee and Jen. Very excited. Worse moment of last week was when I caught a stomach bug and was vomiting all day last Sunday and had to go to the hosiptal and go on IV and then even said I had to get a catherder put in until I begged them not to.. Thank goodness that didn't have to happen because I peed. But man I am ready for a break. I am exhausted. But of course now have a sore throat (again). Maternity leaves starts in 2 weeks. Counting down the days, so I can at least focus on one less thing... so long for now. Hopefully my next update wont be when the new baby is 2 years old! That's how far apart these posts have been...

How Far Along: 23 weeks!
Size of baby: Grapefruit. Wow! Can't believe how fast this pregnancy is going

Sleep: I get tired early, which is nice because it's easy for me to go to sleep. 
Total Weight Gain: 9 lbs, so 176. Can't gain too much though because I was big when I started!  
Symptoms: Starting to feel sluggish. Harder to move around. Even took the elevator today to go up one floor at work. #lazy
Movement: My little mover and shaker! Feel like you've been super active for awhile. Hopefully that doesn't mean you're a wild child, we already have one of those ;) but as long as your healthy that's all that matters. My little wild one. 
Maternity Clothes: Oh yes, busting out the maternity clothes for sure. Got new leggings from Motherhood Maternity that I just want to live in. 
Go-to eats: Hmm ate almost a whole pan of rice crispy treats the other day. And there is a candy drawer at work. Dangerous
Best moment of the week(s): Emma loves it when I read you this book called "hello in there" It's the sweetest book about a growing belly. I think and hope she will be a good big sister. Work knows I am pregnant now. Big stress reliever. Hoping to take 6 months off. Hallelujah. So needed after only my 8 fast weeks with Emma. Also got to see you at 21 weeks! You look like Emma. Which is a wonderful thing because we all know what a cutie pie she is.
