How far along:
33 weeks today — Seven weeks to go!
Baby’s size:
She’s the size of an durian and measuring up to 18.7 inches and 5.8 lbs. She’s getting bigger day by day!

Weight gain:
I’m weighing in at a solid 147 lbs which means I’m only up 15 pounds — even after Thanksgiving!
Food cravings:
Eggs, toast and avocado! Not much different than before. I can’t pass up the office treats either. So good, but so bad!
Sleep:
Still sleeping great! I’m one lucky girl. At least a solid 8-9 hours a night. However, I had a few rough nights around the full moon.

Gender:
TONS! Movin and groovin!
Best moment this week:
My Tahoe baby shower and seeing my sweet college friend and her family! Plus, finally ordering our Christmas cards from Minted!
Miss anything?
Eh, it doesn’t really matter. I would say a glass of wine with dinner, but it’s been so long at this point.
Symptoms:
The occasional bit of heart burn. Nothing a few rice crackers and pellegrino can’t fix.
Workouts:
Workouts:
Still maintaining and feeling lucky. Mostly spin, walking and HIIT. I might throw in a few crossfit classes too depending on the WOD. At this point I really have to modify movements.
Maternity Clothes?
Yes and no. Mostly dresses, leggings, definitely maternity pants and a mix a tops. I’m loving these black pants from the Gap right now.
Mood:
A combo of happy, stressed and frustrated. As silly as it sounds, I cried last week over our maternity/holiday photos — we don’t get a disk/USB of the 30 edited digital images unless we buy them (each one individually…which is pricey). I’m trying to figure it out. With that said, I may or may not share any on the blog. 🙁
Also frustrated and stressed about where we’re having our baby. My cardiologist doesn’t recommend I deliver in Tahoe and is suggesting we go Reno, NV. That’s a bit over an hour drive! We’re having a January baby in snow country! My luck the night I go into labor it will be the biggest storm of the season. Yes, I just went worse case scenario on you. We’ll see how the next seven weeks go because I would much rather drive five minutes to the hospital than an hour plus.
Looking forward to:
Our 35 week ultrasound is in two weeks and we’ll find out how big she is and have a better idea of our due date.

Love these updates! Will be praying that all those little details work out and come together for a wonderful delivery for you and baby girl. 🙂
Thanks Natalie! We'll know more next week, but after my appointment this morning things are looking good.
You look great! I am almost 18 weeks and my bumps not too far behind!! Haha! 🙂 I am glad you are getting some sleep and feeling well! Enjoy this time! 🙂
Thanks Jess! I'm happy I'm able to sleep now because I know that will not be the case after baby 😉
You are glowing! If you don't mind me asking, is there a reason your doctor doesn't want you delivering 5 minutes way?
Hi Jessie — Thanks! Not at all. I was born with a heart defect and as a child had two corrective heart surgeries. Although, I've never had a problem since it still is a concern. The local cardiologist isn't comfortable with me delivering at a smaller hospital and would rather I have a team of specialists near by if something was to happen. My ob and the specialists in Reno do not see any issues. However, as a precaution we're seeing the specialists in Reno tomorrow and are testing the baby for any heart issues before we make any decisions.
