NST and 4D from last week :)

Sorry this is super super super late. Last week we went to see the ob on Thursday. Charlie hasn't been moving too much lately so they did an NST (he's great) and an ultrasound since we haven't had one since January.
I was actually pleased that the doctor was shocked that we hadn't had one in a long time since I'm high risk. It only reinforces that I was receiving substandard care with the midwives.

so now to the part you actually care about..

Little man!! His face looks pretty similar to last pic we got


Awesomely, we finally got another profile shot. He has been hiding his profile since week 12 so I was super excited to see it.. and then I saw.. he got the family nose :) lol



And because I am getting really huge and haven't really done a single belly shot.. for your viewing pleasure at 33.5 weeks...

less than 7 weeks!

How far along? 33 weeks!!
Total weight gain: lost 2ish pounds, so up 15 total. the doctor wasn't concerned, so neither am I
Maternity clothes?! I am over it. I want to wear my normal cute clothes. bahhh still doing the mix and match though. fortunately while the bump is big, as a whole I am not :)
Stretch marks? still none! fx it stays like this!! [same]
Sleep:  insomnia seems to be a lot better. but the heartburn. oooooh the heartburn. AHH
Miss anything? blue moon beer. mmm and recently, wine lol [same]
Movement/Symptoms: so we had a cause for concern this week- little man stopped moving. he's suddenly better now, but scared the crap out of me. We had an NST and AN ULTRASOUND!!!! BABY PICS!.
Food cravings: depends on the day, time of day and what I ate last lol.
Anything making you queasy or sick: still buffalo sauce? I don't get it. ooh! shrimp. I suddenly find it disgusting. [same]
Gender: either way we're naming it Charlie, but let's hope the doctor is right :)
Symptoms: heartburn. my heart itself is going buckwild lol. I actually think I had a full on contraction last night too. I have been having cramping pain this was a whole belly pain. very weird.
Belly button in or out? super flat. I don't think it will pop but it's not over yet. [same]
Wedding rings on or off? wore my engagement ring all week :) I think I found my weight limit for my ring lol. 
Happy or moody most of the time: moody.still. and still having headaches.
Looking forward to: second shower this weekend! kinda excited, kinda nervous. I am not an attention needy person so I just feel awkward.  It feels like time is FLYING by.

So as above, I do have Charlie pictures from this week but I need to scan them in... tune in later for an update with his HUGE nose lol :)

Looking forward to: first shower down :) my college roommates are throwing a little get together this weekend- super excited to see them and other faces I haven't seen in a while!

I badly want to nest. I want to get the nursery finished, I want to have everything done and tucked away. I think after the showers I will have permission to go shopping :) I just can't wait for little man to get here. I put together our baby swing and so desperately want to try it out. lol

Movement/Symptoms: still hiccups, constant kicks. little man sleeps throughout the night though, so at least one of us is sleeping.
Food cravings: coffee, french fries.
Anything making you queasy or sick: sometimes buffalo sauce. I have random aversions that vary hour to hour. 
Gender: it's a boy! (although my neighbor let me know that you never really know until the baby comes out lol)
Symptoms: super insomnia, bloat, EXHAUSTION. I am so tired.
Belly button in or out? In, I still wonder if it's going to pop or just stay super flat.
Wedding rings on or off? I wear the engagement ring occasionally, but for the most part I keep it off.
Happy or moody most of the time: moody. definitely moody. I want to be nice but my patience is negligible.
Looking forward to: my first shower is this weekend! excited but mildly nervous. we will see how it goes, I have a ton of stuff I need to do around the house. so much preparations. 

Still need to finish the nursery. bahh so much to do, so little energy.
