29 Weeks


How far along? 29 weeks... only 11 to go!
This Week the baby is a size of a: Acorn Squash. He's 15-16 inches long and probably weighs between 2.5-3.5 pounds
Total weight gain/loss: Oh probably too much. I've been hitting the snack bar more than the gym this week.
Maternity clothes? Yes.  I can still fit into some of my gym clothes.  However I only wear two different gym shorts.  The family would probably like to burn them by now but they're the only ones with elastics that don't cut in to my waist. 
Belly button in or out? most of it's in. The top part is starting to push out, and the holes where my belly button ring was looks weird.
Sleep: depends on the day.  Sometimes I get 7 hours, sometimes I sleep for 12.
Best moment this week: I'm starting to feel kicks in different places, like on my side or up by my ribs.  This means the baby is growing!
Movement: Yes, and I think it is THE coolest to see my stomach move
Symptoms: Constant bathroom trips.  And lots of minor aches and pains.  
Symptoms I DON'T have: No varicose veins! (Yet).
Food cravings: lately I've been wanting a lot of meat. 
Gender: boy
What I miss: Being able to go out and not be "that pregnant girl."  I mean, I don't really care, I embrace the awkwardness of being the pregnant girl at the bar, or the pregnant girl in the bikini.  But people like to stare. 
What I am looking forward to: Getting things in the Nursery ready!
Weekly Wisdom: Lots of stretching.  It doesn't take much for me to get crampy and tight.
Milestones: His head is growing because his brain is still developing.  He's practicing breathing and stretching.  He's still getting fat!... which means I'm still going to get bigger.  
To Do List: Same ol' same ol'.  I've got to get on the ball for some of this stuff, it's pretty important and realistically, this kid could pop out any second.
