33/34 weeks

Nothing too new to report this week.  My hips are still killing me - it's literally hard to walk when I get out of bed in the morning and sometimes into the day a bit.  Lots of pelvic pressure on top of that - but I know it's my body doing what it's supposed to do.  Truly, if this is all I have to complain about, it's not that bad.  I'm still sleeping pretty well and have a good appetite.  Can't believe in 5 weeks, we'll have our little boy here with us!

I went to the doctor this week and have gained...wait for it...4 more lbs. over the last 2 weeks.  Oops.  Guess I went a little overboard with the Halloween candy.  All looks great though.  Benjamin's heart is beating strong in there and he is stretching. me. out! Literally - loves to push his feet directly out at my belly button...which adds to the torpedo look I've got going on.  I can't wait to see how much he weighs :)  Which will be soon...only 3 more doctor's appointments before he's here!  Already so in love with our son.  Can't wait to hold him in our arms!

My work friends threw a baby shower for my co-worker, Karen, and me this week, too.  Yummy food and lots of goodies for baby Benjamin and baby Manganillo (name TBD).  I'm so grateful!  Lots of love for our little guy already.
