im not very good at updating this thing, i totally forgot about it. alex is on a retreat the rest of the weekend. he left last night and im really lonely. my mom comes up tomorrow and sunday is my shower! i cant wait to see everybody! lauren is such a good friend for throwing me 2 showers in one year! i just had my bridal shower back in january!
How far along? 33 weeks, 7 until my due date. OMG.
Maternity clothes?: still wearing a lot of my regular shirts, surprisingly. as for pants/jeans, definitely sporting the elastic waist.

Total weight gain/loss: i was up 21 pounds last monday at the dr. right on track! they want me to gain no more than 35.
Stretch marks? not yet....i feel like one is just going to spring up, though.
Sleep: its been hard. ive been taking an approved sleep aid (basically the stuff in benadryl that makes you sleep) every now and then, sometimes ill wake up to pee and ill lie there for several hours before falling back asleep and i dont get any REM. but i slept great last night...maybe because i had the bed all to myself and i was able to spread out.
Best moment this week: this sunday will be the best! my baby shower!
Movement: i swear this child doesnt sleep. he's squirming around all the time. we recorded him moving a few nights ago...
Food cravings: ice cream
Gender: boy
Labor Signs: had some PTL issues since the last blog post, but i dont think hes coming TOO soon.
Belly Button in or out? in..barely.
What I miss: sleeping on my stomach, normal clothes, being able to get up with no problem
What I am looking forward to: sunday and seeing everyone at my shower!
Weekly Wisdom: sleep when your baby sleeps (once hes here)...dont try to get stuff done, your sanity is more important.
Milestones: at this point, james will be gaining around 1/2 pound a week and may grow a full inch this week alone!
