33 Weeks and another bladder infection

you're 33 weeks pregnant! 

Baby's now the size of a durian fruit! Things are heating up inside as well: Baby may grow up to a full inch this week alone, and his brain is developing like crazy. Pretty soon, he'll be able to coordinate breathing with sucking and swallowing. Also, his bones are hardening, and he's started to keep his eyes open when he's awake.

You're 33 weeks pregnant Baby is now the size of a durian fruit!

your body is changing

You are one hot mama -- literally. A 20 percent metabolic rate increase throughout pregnancy can leave you begging for a cool breeze no matter what the weather is like. Distract yourself with an exercise in blind identification. Try to distinguish between baby's feet, fists, knees, and elbows -- all doing some major pushing and nudging inside of you.

Nothing too exciting going on... turns out I have another bladder and UTI infection. YAY, joyous! Well, that explains why my stomach has been hurting so bad (and probably the fact his head is pressing right on my stomach or ribs). So, I get to start yet another round of antibiotics. I also fell the other day- twice. Felt really stupid and clumsy! But, thankfully, the lady (Linda) who comes to give me my shot, came literally like 10 minutes after I fell so she checked everything out and he is just fine! I am so emotional right now that it is crazy but I guess it is good that I at least recognize it... Also, just trying to get through the days - they seem to be getting longer and more painful - then there is the hour and a half ride home. So, I usually just pray the days go by fast. But, what do ya do? I just keep telling myself that it is short term and that he will be here in (at the most) 6 weeks!
