Newsflash!
The handy dandy ticker down at the bottom of this page has informed me that I only have 50 days to go. Guess I should get some bags packed, huh?
33 Week Survey
I almost forgot the best part- the part where I get to be sarcastic!
How far along? 33 weeks into my 40 sentence. (I kid, I kid)
Total weight gain/loss: A lot.
Stretch marks? Still got them, even though they seem to be fading a little.
Sleep: Averaging 4 hours a week now. You read that correctly.
Best moment this week: Our baby shower. It was awesome!
Movement: Lots of punches and kicks when I finally get settled in the bed.
Food cravings: Nothing in particular, just lots of it.
Belly Button in or out? Still in, amazingly.
What I miss: Getting out of bed/off the couch/in and out of the car with ease.
What I am looking forward to: Finally getting the nursery set up.
Weekly Wisdom: Patience, Prudence.
Milestones: Getting closer to full term, where I will not disagree with Sidney if he feels he's just had enough of my uterus and wants out!

33 Weeks
EEK! That means only 7 to go! And I double checked the calendar and I'm on the right week this time, even if I'm jumping the gun a day early;)
This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds (heft a pineapple) and has passed the 17-inch mark. He's rapidly losing that wrinkled, alien look and his skeleton is hardening. The bones in his skull aren't fused together, which allows them to move and slightly overlap, thus making it easier for him to fit through the birth canal. (The pressure on the head during birth is so intense that many babies are born with a conehead-like appearance.) These bones don't entirely fuse until early adulthood, so they can grow as his brain and other tissue expands during infancy and childhood.

Baby Shower!!
This past Saturday was my baby shower, and I had so much fun! My sister in law Erin and mother in law Lynn were in charge of the festivities, and they did such a good job:) The food was great, the games were fun, and all in all, everyone had a wonderful time- I know I did! And a special thanks to Stephanie for writing up our very own personalized Baby Mad Lib- it was hilarious! (Will be posting it here soon for all to read) And of course, Sidney was literally showered with presents- he is so lucky to have so many people that love him!
Here's is a picture of what I could fit on his changing table we received- there's tons more, and I can't wait to get it all set up in his room!

What's been going on at the Dawson's
We've been hard at work, with the help of my mom and dad, on finishing the downstairs gameroom/family room, and now our first project is done! Here's some pictures- we're still in the decoration process, so it's not totally done just yet:)
Before
And after
And since that project is getting wrapped up, we've been hard at work on Sidney's room. We're about 50% done in there, and hope to have it done by next weekend- here's some progress pics.
The floors in Sid's room need to be sanded and refinished, so we're gonna bring in the belt sander next weekend and get that taken care of. Then all that will be left is the fun stuff- decorating!
