Week 33 update
Hello there and welcome to week 33 where our dear McNugget now weighs over 4 pounds (think of me the next time you pick up a pineapple at the grocery store).
It's been a pretty good week. I have some common aches and pains now and then and have even added "occasional numbness" of my feet and hands to my list of complaints.
I think I may have experienced two or three Braxton Hicks contractions this weekend. Fortunately, they weren't too brutal.
The McNugget hit a few milestones this weekend including a trip to Disneyland (well, we didn't actually go through the park but we did go to dinner in "Downtown Disney") for our friend Aaron's 30th birthday, and the McNugget's first wedding!***
Our very good friends Emily and Colin tied the knot this weekend and the McNugget was kind enough to let me enjoy the evening from start to very late finish. The new Mr. and Mrs. C. hired a fantastic band and I seemed to have no trouble dancing until the bitter end of the wedding. It felt slightly different dancing with the McNugget (it's harder to balance and move from side to side) but it was certainly fun. The McNugget even allowed me to partake in a festive hora!
Two recent discoveries to report:
1) Handicap bathrooms are a pregnant girl's best friend. I had no idea how small bathroom stalls were until I started trying to clear their doors past my third trimester bump.
2) My science teachers would not be proud as I seem to have forgotten all about the theory of water displacement each time I take a bath. There is simply more of me filling up the tub which means I need to get used to turning off the tap earlier. My eco-friendly husband is surely so proud of all of the water I will save in the weeks to come.
***Where there are weddings, there are cameras. My week 33 sized bump was photographed yesterday and I know there are some of you who really want to sneak a peak. Let me know if you want to see a photo of the McNugget's "habitat" and I'll send it along.
