33 weeks

Today : 33 weeks + 6 days (this picture is from 2 days ago!)

Weight gain : 22-23 lbs ... I may or may not have accidently bought the biggest Dr Pepper available yesterday at the movie theater when I went to see Mockingjay. So after that, I'll be honest, I don't really want to know what the scale says.

Maternity Clothes : Yes! I just bought this blue dress from Old Navy in a size medium, non-maternity. It's so cute & comfortable!

Stretch marks : Still a no! Belly button is not officially an outtie, but it's visible through my t-shirts now. So weird!

Sleep : Getting more and more necessary and more and more elusive. Biology's weird trick of training you to be wide awake in the middle of the night in preparation for feeding a newborn is definitely not conducive to my 12 hour work days. 

Sickness : Acid reflux. Insomnia. Carpal tunnel. Braxton Hicks. Might not count as "sickness," but I definitely count it as terrible. Boo!

Movement : Yep. Just like when I saw Gone Girl, Samson went crazy for the surround sound at the movie theater. He's getting big enough to cause some trouble though, like making it hard to breathe when he pushes too hard against my ribs. Hopefully, he'll be nice to momma for the next couple weeks.

Cravings : FINALLY, after almost two weeks of anticipation, got my hands on a spicy Korean BBQ sandwich from Bahn Mi Barista (if you haven't been there, please go as soon you possibly can!) It's a little Vietnamese sandwich shop that my friend Holli got me hooked on last year.

Exciting happenings : Aaron's mom and one of my best friend's, Rachel, had baby showers for me last weekend. Both parties were so sweet and so special. Just as expected, Samson got a few pairs of those cute baby socks I talked about last week (one pair came with Batman capes attached) and some much needed baby essentials. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures from either shower. I was too busy opening gifts and I imagine everyone else was busy rangling their own babies. I can tell you that Aaron & I felt so loved and blessed by our friends and family. We are so thankful to be bringing Samson into such a great community.

In other cute news, Cash has been spending more and more time Samson's room with Aaron & I, as well as by himself. I think it's really pretty sweet that Cash has been taking his toys into Samson's room and he'll even curl up by his crib on occasion. I can't wait to see how he reacts when we bring his little brother home!

Cash's new favorite moose, Murphy. We bought him a toy to make up for the influx of baby gear...
