Spring Has Sprung!!!!

Well the warmer weather is FINALLY upon us!  And not a moment too soon either, I don't think.  With the warm weather comes the realization that it's May...meaning that Yoda's due date is NEXT MONTH!!! Wow!  I feel like this pregnancy has flown by - maybe it's because it's been quite stress-free as compared to Q's pregnancy.  With Quinn, we were always concerned about her club foot, had a lot of specialist appointments and ultrasounds, and not to mention I was still working in quite a bit of discomfort.  This time around, things have definitely been easier in the pain department but not completely easy-going.  I was having quite painful Symphysis Pubic Dysfunction as I did with Q and heartburn that required some medication to control.  Lately though, both of those have quieted down *fingers crossed*.

At my midwife appointment 3 weeks ago, we found out that Yoda was breech.  I promptly made an appointment to see Jackie (my former chiro associate) for Webster.  After 2 treatments I had another midwife appointment and Yoda had turned!  I was thrilled!  Now I just see Jackie for other aches and pains since she knows a lot about treating pregnant women.

Here's the "Yoda Survey" for this week:

How far along? 33 weeks 2 days
Total weight gain: 40 lbs
Maternity clothes? Always...and still so comfy!
Stretch marks? Touch wood that no new ones have popped up other than the ones that I got with Q along my hips
Best moment this week: Yoda took a comfortable position on one side of my stomach the other night.  It was kind of funny to see a lopsided belly
Miss anything: Being able to go up a set of stairs without being winded
Movement: Really big movements that make my whole belly move
Food cravings: Chocolate lately
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!
Gender: Team Green
Labor Signs: Nope, just occasional Braxton-Hicks with exertion
Belly Button in or out? Kind of in between.  You can see it through all my shirts though.
Wedding rings on or off? On. 
Happy or Moody most of the time: Can I say both?  Today was a great day, but yesterday I was more frustrated because I pulled a muscle
Looking forward to: Meeting Yoda next month! WOW!

How is Quinn doing, you ask?  She's as awesome as ever and definitely has her own personality.  She's starting to ask to do certain activities more now, which is both helpful and not-so-helpful (i.e. when I have to say "no" to her).  She loves to go for walks around the block or to the park in her wagon.  She'll start yelling "wagon" whenever we mention it.  And at the park she's a big fan of the slide and especially the swings.

Q's vocabulary continues to grow and she's starting to string words together into little sentences.  Usually her sentences can be about 2-3 words long, but she definitely gets her point across!  Some of her new words include - "hug", "water", "eye-keen" (ice cream), "sauce" (this goes for any sauce, be it ketchup or syrup), and "knucks".

So the story with "Knucks" is that it's something that Steve taught her when we were in Phoenix.  The whole bumping knuckles thing.  Anyway, we kind of forgot about it to be honest and were wondering what she was saying last week when bumping her hand against Steve's.  Then a light bulb went off for us and we realized that she was remembering what he had taught her a couple of weeks before!
