29 Weeks

Size of an acorn squash..who knows what that is?!

How far along? 29 weeks

Total weight gain:

 17+ I’ll find out next week

Maternity clothes? 

Mostly maternity. 

Stretch marks? 

Nope! 

Sleep: 

LEG CRAMPS OW. My calf still hurts and it’s been 2 days.. Less hip cramps. My chiropractor suggested taking my magnesium vitamins at nights to help with the cramping so I just started doing that. 

Best moment this week: 

Feeling him move around. I could watch my belly for hours. Small progress on buying things we need and getting things for his room. 

Miss Anything? 

Sleeping on my back! Working up a sweat, especially running. A glass of wine or a really good beer. Breathing. Being comfortable.

Movement: 

Love this! I still can’t identify what body parts are what or I least I’m not quite sure. I’m going to ask the doctor next week. 

Food cravings: 

Sugar. Sweets. Jolly Ranchers (I still haven’t eaten them but I want them). I really enjoy Wendy’s when we are traveling. TEA. Fruit.

Anything making you queasy or sick: 

Nothing this week.

Gender: 

BOY!

Labor Signs:

No and let’s keep it that way for at least 8 more weeks.

Symptoms: 

Leg cramps at night. Riding in the car gets pretty uncomfortable. I can’t breathe!! I know it’s the uterus pushing up on my lungs because baby boy loves to hang out really low. Picking up things off the floor forget it. And getting up off the floor or lying down or in really low chairs has been getting pretty difficult. 

Belly Button in or out? 

It’s mostly out. The bottom part is still in for the moment. It’s not bothering me as much as I thought it would.

Wedding rings on or off? 

Off. BOOOO

Happy or Moody most of the time: 

Very happy! I think the moodiness was the worst during the first trimester. I don’t really feel moody at all anymore.  

Looking forward to: 

The next doctor appointment- I got a lot of questions! 

Workout:

Same as usual.

Reading:

With our long car drive I skimmed the Birth Book for Jamie and myself. This helped us start thinking about our birth plan. We are really on the same page YAY! I have also started going through the breastfeeding book again.  We also read parts of The Happiest Baby on the Block theories. I’m a little torn on these books- people swear by them but I kinda want to see how Jackson is first. That could be a mistake but we’ll see! 

Furry Babies:

They got to spend the weekend at my parents which they LOVE! Mimi and Poppi spoil them rotten. They love the kitties as much as we do. Although the cats still miss us at night. 

To dos:

We met with another pediatrician Monday and have our last one to meet with in a couple weeks. We have a lot of work to do on the baby’s room. I keep getting emails about packing my hospital bag (WHAT?!) but I was planning on waiting until August to do that.. Every week I have been trying crock pot recipes to use once the baby gets here and I have no time to cook! I don’t even know the list is end less! 

Worries:

That Jackson is going to be a big baby! I’m not really worried about it as long as I don’t have to have a C-section we are good :) 

11 more weeks!!
