29 Weeks!



How big is the baby this week: About 17 inches long and weighs 3 pounds!
How far along: 29 weeks (and 3 days)
Due date: May 30, 2013
Gender: Sweet baby BOY.
Total weight gain: 20ish lbs
Stretch marks: nothing new.
Sleep: not so great. I've slept better the last couple of nights, but I'm having a hard time getting comfortable.
Miss anything: my clothes.
Movement: Lots of movement! He has found his comfy spot in my rib cage and on my right side. I felt him have the hiccups for the first time this week!
Food cravings: anything fruity and tangy - like Pinkberry Key Lime froyo.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.
Labor signs: Nope.
Symptoms: acid reflux, some rib and back pain, swollen ankles after sitting at my desk all day.
Belly button in or out: top is out.
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy! Except for when Foster's crib was delivered damaged for the second time!! I never thought I would cry and cuss over a crib, but that happened.
Looking forward to: this weekend - finishing the built-in in our closet, unpacking the rest of the boxes, hanging curtains and assembling Foster's crib - I think the damaged part will be hidden.... we'll see. (I wrote this on Thursday.... the crib is assembled!!)

28 Weeks - Third Trimester



How big is the baby this week: Almost 17 inches long and weighs almost 3 pounds!
How far along: Exactly 28 weeks - I'm now in my 3rd trimester!
Due date: May 30, 2013
Gender: Sweet baby BOY.
Total weight gain: 18.5 lbs. I only gained ONE pound since my last appointment. I'm now at 139.5
Stretch marks: nothing new.
Sleep: I wake up a few times during the night, but other than that it's fine.
Best moment this week: Hearing Foster's heartbeat at my doctor's appointment! I measured 28 cm which is perfect. There was a scary moment when my protein levels measured super high and they almost sent me to the hospital! But then I chugged some water and the levels went down. I'm mildly dehydrated..... more water for me!
Miss anything: fitting in my clothes.
Movement: Lots and lots of movement! It's my favorite :)
Food cravings: mint water and honeydew.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope.
Labor signs: Nope.
Symptoms: acid reflux, nose bleeds
Belly button in or out: It's basically flat now but the top sticks out
Happy or moody most of the time: Happy! but tired
Looking forward to: Foster's crib arriving STILL. I'm not sure when the replacement order is supposed to be here- I'm becoming impatient! I'm ready to put the nursery together!!
