How far along? 33 Weeks

Total weight gain: Probably about 28 pounds - though my scale at home indicated that maybe I had lost some weight?  If that's true I'm not complaining :)
Maternity clothes? maternity & comfy clothes... jeans are becoming a rare thing.  We've had a few days of warmer weather and it's making me want to break out the maxi dresses.  
Stretch marks? yes.  I really try not to obsess over them - but I do hope they shrink back or change color in the future. 
Sleep: sleeping is still just in two hour increments and while I used to love sleeping in, I just don't do it very much anymore.  That said, I do love naps :)  Took a two hour one yesterday afternoon (because of my busy morning taking Stacy to the airport and the St. Patty's parade).
Best moment this week: learning that the baby is the size of a pineapple and roughly between 4.5 and 5.2 pounds!  That seems huge for some reason - and baby boy will continue to gain about a 1/2 pound a week.  Crazy!  Also, Rob and I did awesome at our second birth class - learned lots of birthing "positions" and ways to work through contrations together. 
Miss Anything? lunch meat, hot dogs, beer (it is St. Patty's day after all), and being able to to take medicine for the stupid cold I caught this week. 
Movement: still love feeling all of his random wiggles and rolls.
Food cravings: Sweets - my co-worker literally stopped to get me some break and bake cookies on the way back from lunch because I kept asking people I worked with "do you have any homemade treats"....  thankfully everyone enjoyed this treat, not just me! 
Anything making you queasy or sick: still no desire to eat meat (though I need to) and the ravioli that Rob keeps suggesting just never sounds good.
Gender: boy
Labor Signs: No true signs. ..but each time we go to birthing class I think about how it ould be any day now!  And then I worry that my water will break at work or at home when I'm sleeping and then I'll ruin the mattress.  
Symptoms: heartburn, sore hips, and lower back pain
Belly Button in or out? Sort of half in and half out
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!  Multiple people this week told me how calm I seem about everything (this makes me happy too)!
Looking forward to: our hospital tour this week!!  Possibly packing our hospital bags, cleaning out the kitchen shelves to make room for bottles and sterilizing the bottles, more organizing.  Nesting is no joke...
