Morning cuddles with Bubba

Sloane loves snuggling in bed with me in the mornings and she especially likes giving hugs and kisses to my belly...

Don't mind my gross belly button.  I guess that is what I get for piercing it when I was 18.  The third trimester has hit me like a ton of bricks the last few days.  My back is hurting so bad and my stomach hurts.  Braxton Hicks contractions have started so I have moments of extreme tightness... Good times :)  I have my 33 week check-up today and I gained another pound (up to 12 total).  My doctor is worried that the baby is too small (in the 15th percentile based on the ultrasound).  She thinks it is because my metabolism is so fast that my body isn't sharing enough food with the baby.   Time to step it up and eat more calorie-dense foods.   Looks like an In-and-Out cheeseburger and milkshake are in my future!
