33 weeks pregnant with Hazel

Well, I am now 33 weeks pregnant with our little miss. We now have the crib up, a new carseat/stroller (the old one is expired and got very yucky while hanging out in our basement!), clothes mostly washed and in drawers. We obviously hope she hangs out in there a little longer, but I am giddy when I think about holding her.

At this point in pregnancy:
*I have sciatic pain which is worse when sitting for a long time or laying.
*My belly is huge and I make the kids pick up stuff off the floor for me!
*Hazel moves quite a bit but her movements are not hard or painful like both of the boys were. She is more of a roller and just likes to let us know she is in there.
*I have gained 25lbs
*No problems at all at this point, which is a huge relief since I was on bedrest in August. My doctor continues to be a little concerned that I might have Hazel early because of the issue I was having before, but she is staying snug for now!
*I am not quite sure how to juggle 4 kids and just pray that Hazel is even more laid back as a baby than Ezra was!
*I do not sleep well at all. Some nights I see every hour on the clock. Most nights I'm "only" awake 3-4 times.
*My maternity jeans do not stay up well. I am always pulling them into place. The only shirts that fit well are true maternity shirts.
*We are sick of being inside from the cold/snow/ice, and I hope a newborn helps with that : )
*I have been trying to clean and nest like crazy but it's hard to do when the kids are running around. I have a huge trash bag of things ready to go to goodwill, though!
*I have not made any freezer meals and need to get on it!
*I have, however, stocked up on newborn and size 1 diapers! Hoping we are good for at least a few weeks!
*The kids like to feel her move, and get excited if she kicks them. Ezra likes to lay his head on my stomach and likes to pat her and smooch her.
