33 weeks

How far along? 33
Total weight gain: 18
Sleep: sporadic, and feeling the need for naps
Best moment this week: spending time with my boys, enjoying the warmer weather.
Movement: he's a busy boy...but has moments of rest/active
Food cravings: not so much anymore
Gender: boy!
What I miss: not feeling like a stuffed turkey!
What I am looking forward to: meeting Carter for the first time, and introducing him to his 2 big brothers that can't wait for him to arrive.

From Baby-Gaga for 33 weeks
For all the weight and bulk you’re lugging around these days, you’d think your little champ should weigh much more than a mere 5 lbs and measly 17 inches in height, but nope, that’s about the average size for a baby in its thirty-third week. In terms of appearances, they’re getting cuter and pudgier every minute as they pile on the baby fat for those adorable little wrist rolls and chubby toes. And as we’re sure you’ve already noticed they’re getting stronger with every passing day. Nowadays, it’s possible to observe a well-placed kick just by watching your belly—but you already knew that didn’t you? Although they’re getting stronger, your bigger-by-the-day baby is losing space to move around, so the actual rate of movement will drop off in the last few weeks, despite that powerful drop-kick they’ve been working on. Hey, did you know you’ll continue feeling their movements even during labor?
