33 weeks

My belly from my view.  I had to bend over to get my feet in the picture!

I'm at 33 weeks now, and pregnancy is starting to wear on me.  I've definitely hit the third trimester discomfort stage.

Things I DON'T like about being pregnant:

Feeling uncomfortably stuffed after a small meal and then hungry two hours later.
The extra effort it takes to get a full breath.
The way my tailbone hurts when I sit anywhere for longer than about 5 minutes.
Having to use the restroom every hour.
Feeling like I'm the size of a house.
Stretch marks.  Sadly I did not get my mom's good genes, and vitamin E oil and lotion doesn't seem to help much. I still slather it on every day though, just in case.
The backache that makes getting out of bed in the morning pretty painful (thankfully it usually goes away after a few minutes).
Fatigue and a general inability to get comfortable.


Things I DO like about being pregnant:

Nesting.  The motivation to get stuff done is nice and my house has gotten some fun upgrades.
I won't lie, I like the excuse to eat ice cream without feeling guilty. :-)
Feeling the baby's movements and kicks.  Sometimes they hurt but most of the time it's special bonding time.
Seeing James excited about our baby is very sweet.

I'm growing a tiny human in my body!  One who is half me and half the love of my life. Being part of such a miracle is so totally worth it.  That being said, I'm glad the end is in sight.  I want him to stay in there as long as he needs to, but I'm excited to meet our little guy!
