This picture is for you Whitney. And the beautifully planned scenery is for everyone else that would like to see my very untouched half bath. We'll get to redoing it eventually.
Woah, check out that bump. Cheyanne sure looks bothered, doesn't she?
How far along?: 29 weeks
How big is baby?: He is supposedly just under 15 inches all curled up, except at night when he decides to stretch himself out. Then he feels like he's more like 6 feet tall. He weighs roughly 2.5 pounds.
Weight Gain?: I dread this question so much. Why is this always one of the first questions people ask when discussing pregnancy?! Ok, truth time. I've gained 9-10 pounds so far. I think it has evenly split between my belly and backside. Next.
Stretch Marks?: Thank heavens, no.
Maternity Clothes?: Oh yeah. All pants are maternity at this point. Tops are still fitting just fine minus the shorter ones. I pretty much live in my long Gap tshirts.
Sleep?: Right now sleep is pretty good, once I can get to sleep. That has nothing to do with pregnancy but more to do with I don't sleep well when Giant is away.
Best moment this week?: During our nighttime prayers and our normal "God bless" lists, we prayed for baby brother. I paused and asked Cheyanne (which I do every now and then recently) where is her Baby Brother. "Belly!" and proceeded to point to her belly then to mine. I laughed and so she pulled up my shirt to "see." I love how much she is growing, mentally and physically, this girl is amazing.
Food Cravings?: Most anything that doesn't require me to cook it for long. Sure wish I had a chocolate chip cookie right now.
Gender?: "He" better still be a boy.
Movement?: At all points of the day, I can see my belly jumping and jiving. Its my favorite part of pregnancy.
What I miss?: Wine. Still wine.
Belly Button?: Still in there with my pretty bling. Its closing in every day though. Push that sucker in.
Labor Signs?: No. Braxton hicks- is it too early for that?
What I'm looking forward to?: Finally picking a name for this sweet boy. I am not a "baby boy" kind of person. I want him to have a name sooner than later, although I think we've agreed not to share it until he's here. Sorry for busting anyone's bubble about that. Oh, also, I'm really really looking forward to my physical therapy starting next week. Apparently pregnancy with me means hip and sciatic nerve pain for the last few months of pregness. I'm hoping therapy works this time.
Milestone?: Definitely the highlight of my week was seeing him at the ultrasound. I guess that is the last time I'll see him until he's here unless we do a 3D-4D sess like we did Cheyanne. I don't think they do ultrasounds later on.
So that's that. 29 weeks down. 11 more to go until the big due date. I finally went back and compared myself to my previous pregnancy. Check this out. I thought I had preggo squirrel checks now. Look at me then! Ah. I didn't do a 29 week survey update apparently then but I did a 28 and a 30. Interesting to compare where I was and where I'm at now. I'm so glad that I have kept this blog up for the last two years. I love having a comparison. If you're pregnant, do it. Its worth it!
