33 Weeks!

 Okay, so I skipped week 32...I could tell you it's cuz I've been super busy or stressed out or whatever but truthfully its because ...I weighed myself last sunday and I was at a total gain of 35 lbs!! I'm not gunna even pretend like I didn't freak out..5 pounds?! in a week?! uhhhhhh

So I questioned my Dr about it and while he said I was at the high end of the spectrum, the baby was super healthy and so was I so not to worry. Needless to say, I threw out the remaining junk food in my house, starting walking (very slowly) every day and lo and behold...I've lost a couple LBs..

My goal wasn't to lose, just not get all crazy outta control and end up with zebra stretch marks over every inch of me..so I think it was a great thing that I had that wake up call and I've been a little (not much) better about my diet. An added bonus is that I feel AMAZING after my walks!!

Another update for this week is that Avelyn is still breech. My Dr said that if she doesn't turn before 35 weeks he will manually turn her (from the outside). After looking into this process a little bit I've discovered it is/can be extremely painful (to the point of needing an epidural) and its always done in a hospital. They give you an IV with some medicine to relax the uterus and somehow they turn the baby. The scary thing is if ANYTHING goes wrong like bleeding or decreased fetal heart beat, they do an emergency c-section. I have a week and a half until my appointment where he checks to see if she has turned so prayer please that this baby magically flips over before then. I am also going to try going to a chiropractor.

Here is my bump pic!

Thats really from a week ago and I took it for my hubby after I got my hair cut..but the only other pic I have was a sneaky pic taken without my knowledge and I have like 3 chins...so not going to post it. haha
