week 33

Ahh sorry this post is a few days late again. I'm starting to get a little lazy I guess!

Let's see... week 33 was a whole lot like the last several weeks - very exhausting. I think it's true what they say about the last few weeks of pregnancy and how they prepare you for sleepless nights once the baby arrives. I haven't slept through the night in over a week because I've been waking up every few hours with terrible leg cramps or the sudden urge to go to the bathroom.

Sean and I went in for another prenatal check up at the beginning of the week and Jackson is still doing great. I measured at 33cm and his heart beat was loud and clear! Jackson has been doing some crazy acrobatics the last few days but he was head down when the doctor checked his positioning.

After our appointment, we headed across the parking lot to the hospital to pre-register and check out the birth center. It's a small hospital, but it has 5 private birthing rooms complete with showers and tvs in each room. Oh yeah, and a record player for the real "old school" moms I guess. I'm just hoping that I'll be in and out of there as quick as possible!

As for other updates, Sean and I did some spring cleaning / nesting last weekend. We rearranged our bedroom to make more space and started unpacking baby clothes and other items. After a few breakdowns and a pulled muscle or two, I feel a little better about being prepared for baby to arrive. I'm having a hard time balancing my need for organization and the fact that we may not be living in our place past July, when our lease is up.

Well I think that's about it for week 33. Here's the belly shot:
