Pregnancy Update: 31 and 33 weeks

Things are really starting to get going around here! I wish I could say that at 33 weeks, I am fully ready for the baby to get here, but we still haven't even purchased anything yet. He really just needs a carseat, right? Maybe a few diapers. But hopefully within the next few weeks, I can really get on this and start purchasing the baby necessities.

Here are some fun facts about weeks 31-33:
-If I thought the baby moved before, he is REALLY moving now. One of his favorite new tricks is getting in a position that pushes against my ribs, and then staying there.
-Baby weighs about 4.5 lbs., and is right on track!
-I can no longer see my toes when I look down, and putting on socks and shoes has become a real hassle.
-If I thought I doubled my food intake during the first trimester, then I have at least doubled it again since then! Ice cream each night, 3 meals plus 5 snacks each day, and *gasp* I may even have my first pregnancy craving. It's not so much a craving, but I need something sweet each day it seems like! I have resorted to eating chocolate chips straight from the bag to fulfill this craving. Maybe that's not so weird to my family since I did it regularly growing up, but it's been many years since I have done it this much!
