33 Weeks

Sorry, I am slacking on these updates.  I LOVE looking back at all the weeks to remember each little stage.  It is super fun that whit is pregnant to and can reference what I was going through during that week.  I have really learned that each pregnancy is completely different for each person and don't think there is really a norm.  I have heard people say how much the weight gain comes on in the 3rd trimester where it has been different for me where I gained all 30 lbs so far from week 17-32.  nothing in 1st trimester at all.  Everyone is going to be completely different. 

 I am excited for the growth scan next Monday to see how baby is growing.  I feel so incredibly huge and now I feel awful for comments I have made to pregnant women before who I thought were going to pop/explode around this time and wonder how the heck they were going to make it any longer.  Well, I am one of those pregnant ladies who looks like she can pop anytime and will for the next few weeks.  

Things have been pretty boring/calm around the Krivachek household. I still am struggling with getting the nursery the way I like it.  I am in frantic clean mode all the time and feel like I need a deep clean every week when really it is clean.  I want to do the walls, lights, fans, and windows until they look brand new!  I think my mom is going to come mid Feb to do one last super clean before baby comes and make sure I have everything to go.  It is driving me nuts I can't easily get on the floor and scrub stuff.  I wonder if this clean freak in me will stay after baby?  I hope so but I think it drives some a little nuts.
