33 Weeks

33 weeks today! My due date is coming up crazy fast! I thought I had all the time in the world to get ready, but now I'm freaking out because I don't think I'll have everything ready in time. I went to the doctor today and I asked him if he would be willing to start me early. Seeing as how both my mom and my sister have a tendency to go past their due dates, I did not want to be in that same situation. Surprisingly, he was all for it and said that if everything was good and ready then he would have me started a week before my due date! That's only 6 weeks away!! Crazy! I'm trying not to get my hopes up, because it's not for sure yet, but I can't help it after hearing that! I really really really hope that I can have my baby a week early!!

I have become super uncomfortable, especially while trying to sleep. I get the worst cramps in my upper leg/hip area when I'm sleeping, so I usually only get about 4-5 hours of uninterrupted sleep before the pain wakes me up and then pretty much keeps me up the rest of the night. My back is in complete pain by the end of every day and I have started getting pretty bad headaches again. Pretty much anyway that I sit makes it difficult to breathe. I am definitely experiencing what people call "pregnancy brain." I can not remember anything to save my life and most of the time I feel like I'm walking around in a daze. BUT, despite all of these annoying and uncomfortable side effects, baby is healthy and growing right on schedule, so I do have a lot to be thankful for. These next few weeks are really going to try my patience as I sit and wait the arrival of my pretty baby, but I will try to still enjoy as much of it as I can :)
