Resting away...

Well, this is my first official day off on my new part-time schedule, and I must say, it's been nice. Slept in until 9 (Tylenol PM-induced, though). Stayed in my PJ's until about 2. Trying to rest as much as possible. Things are getting harder and harder to do and I feel myself tiring out so much faster now. I feel like I need to "stock up" on rest when I can. Oddly enough, I find that I don't eat as much/enough when I'm at home vs. at work, so as soon as I'm done here, it's back downstairs to curl up with some spiced tea and a snack. It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it :)

How far along?: 33 weeks, 0 days.
Total weight gain/loss: +1 this week, +15 overall. Measuring 41 inches around the big ol' belly.
How big is baby?: Over 4 lbs and at least 17 inches long. If he's going to be as long as his daddy was, he's got some serious stretching to do!
Maternity clothes?: Feel like I wear the same things over and over again, but I can't bring myself to buy anything new for what will hopefully be just a few more weeks, you know?
Sleep: Depends on whether or not I've taken Tylenol PM. With it, not bad. Without it (which is 90% of the time), ugh.
Movement: Usually intense, sometimes surprising, occasionally painful, always comforting :)
Labor signs: BH still. Otherwise, no other early labor signs.
Food cravings: Halloween did not help the sugar cravings, though I've managed to muster up a little more self-control than last week.
Gender: Doesn't matter, I'm already so in love.
Belly button in or out?: Flat.
What I miss: The husband. He's working some long hours these days...
What I am looking forward to: Getting to spend days at home with my little one, both of us in our jammies until 2 :)
Best moment this week: Getting all of Baby Reeder's shower gifts put away. Almost all the big stuff is put together and everything else has been organized in the nursery. This teeny little baby has an awful lot of stuff already! Thanks for the help, Grandma!
Weekly Wisdom: A load of baby laundry takes twice as long to fold as a load of regular clothes.
Milestones: Lots more pressure/pain in my hips and pelvic area. Maybe baby is dropping?? Fingers crossed :)
