33 Week Update

How far along: 33 weeks, 4 days...45 days to go
Total weight gain/loss:  I haven't really been keeping up with my weight tracking.  At my last OB appointment I was 9 lbs total.
How big is Baby: Baby is about the size of a durian.  
 Baby's keeping his eyes open while awake. He's also starting to coordinate breathing with sucking and swallowing.
Maternity Clothes: Yes...That's all I can wear.  Just bough a maternity swim suit since that is how I plan to spend most of my weekends and maybe nights.  
Sleep: Sleep is starting to get rough.  Even though I go to bed very tired, I have difficulty going to sleep.  I am starting to get uncomfortable which is making me toss and turn.  Either because I'm uncomfortable or my body feels it's time to get up.  Some times it's rough going back to sleep.  And my temperature is slowly rising so that is making me uncomfortable as well.  I'm also starting to get up very early.  This past weekend was 5:30 am both Saturday and Sunday.  
Movement: Yes and it is amazing.  She is getting very active and the movement is more noticeable now that she is getting bigger.  Some of her kicks are starting to get a bit painful
Food cravings:  cereal....I don't know what it is but that is all I want to eat.  I have been good in restraining for dinner, but that has been my breakfast and lunch meals.  Also freezy pops!!!  I haven't had those since I was a kid.  I eat about 2 a night.
Food aversions: none really.  
Gender: It's a girl.
Symptoms:  Getting more fatigued through out the week (especially when I'm a bit more active around the house cleaning and such), swollen ankles, leg cramps, back aches.  I've been getting more clumsy and forgetful as the weeks progress.  Since it is getting very hot here, and very quickly, my body is starting to swell if I'm on my feet too long....or outside too long.
Best moment this week:  Still going to say my nesting.  My house is becoming more cleaner and organized....J is thrilled about this "symptom"    
What I am looking forward to:  Setting up our Little One's crib and nursery.    

What I still need to do:  set up her nursery; buy a monitor and any other last minute items (a few diapers in various brands, milk storage bags [this can wait until after birth], shorts, pants, skirts, onsies, sleepers; clean up the changing table; buy nursing bras; pack hospital bag.
