{33 weeks}

49 days until my due date! To say I was anxious and excited for July to get here would be an understatement. I don't want to sound ungrateful for the ability to be pregnant or carry a baby with no complications (as of yet, anyway) but I am more than ready to be done. Everything just feels more amplified this time around. I'm more tired, more hungry, more moody, etc. Even this baby belly of mine seems to move more, which is awesome, but it's also starting to become more painful. I'm also more whiney. Can you tell? ;)

This morning has been a tricky one. C went to bed (after feeling perfectly normal all day) with a small fever. Woke up this morning with a small fever and throwing up. As of now (10:30am) he's thrown up 5 times! I'd consider him a pretty healthy kid, but if there is a stomach bug going around, he's going to get it. Luckily the fever hasn't gotten over 100.3 or so (knock on wood) so I'm hoping it's going to be more of a tummy issue more than a fever one. I'm already having horrifying flashbacks to back in March when he had the flu for 6 days.

If that wasn't bad enough, after I peed this morning I noticed some odd tan colored discharge. No real brown/pink/red, but maybe a slight orangeish tint to it? It was weird and of course caused my heart to start pounding. No pressure, no contractions other than the normal BH ones, and baby is moving around like normal so I'm not _too_worried about it but I have put in a call to my doctor and am right now waiting for a call back. It seems to have went back to it's normal color but better safe than sorry. I'm hoping I'm told it can wait until my appointment on Thursday since I have a sick baby at home. But at 33 weeks I definitely don't want Declan to make an appearance yet!

Weight gain - no idea. I'll know on Thursday! My scale at home has me gaining about 23-24lbs altogether, which I'll take for only have 6-7 weeks left! Maybe I'll follow in C's pregnancy footsteps and stop gaining after 37 weeks. ;)

Movement - Oh yes. He's particularly hyper today which I won't complain about given my morning worries. I can't for the life of me figure out what position he's in. For the most part, his movements are still the ones I've felt while he's been breech, but he has also been kicking/punching me in places he's never been before! Haha. He also gets the hiccups like a million times a day. I love because that means he's practicing his breathing in there like a champ. :)

Irrational fears this week - well, I waaaas going to say nothing but now I'm slightly nervous about the discharge. From everything I've read it's only important if it gets red and I start showing other symptoms of preterm labor but I'd like some reassurance from the nurse/doctor. Declan is like a crazy man right now, so I'm not worried about anything happening with him, just if something is progressing with my cervix or something. I'll update after I get the call back.

Things I'm looking forward to - Doc appointment on Thursday and Memorial weekend!

ETA: I finally got a call back from the nurse. I was a weirdo and for some reason gave my cell phone number (which is always either buried in my purse or my bed) so I missed her first call. Verdict is just normal preparation for birth. The only time they really want to see me is if it turned bloody or more liquid/watery. It just being a tan discharge with no cramping and baby moving fine is more of the "just watch it and call if it changes " variety. So, good that I don't have to come in and good that it's probably just my body getting closer to labor! I still sort of hope my doctor decides to go ahead and check me in 2 days just so we can see where we are. I've said from the beginning I didn't think I'd go to 40 weeks, but no way do I want him before 37 weeks!
