@mmgkms It's not bloat! I swears! Even @cousinvicki would probably support that statement by now.
33wks 5d. As of yesterday's ultrasound girls have estimated weights of 4 lb 6 oz and 4 lb 11oz! Somehow babies are getting bigger but I (thankfully) do not seem to be getting any bigger. This is a good thing as I have very few articles of clothing left that cover the belly. I'm up about 48 lbs but not really gaining any more at this point. Yesterday was my last day in the office. I'll work from home for a few more days and then just take sick leave until they come. Doctor seems to think I'll make it to 37 weeks but told me to be ready anyway because things can change fast and they could decide to come at any time. Feeling pretty good overall - I think I feel better now than I have for most of this pregnancy. SPD is still bothersome but is considerably better now that I basically sit on my butt all day and don't need to walk or do stairs anymore.
Best moment this week: walking out of work yesterday knowing that I will not go back until 2014! woo-hoo!
