29 Weeks

Today I am 29 weeks pregnant!

Pregnancy highlights:

Size of Baby: Baby H now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds, about the size of a Butternut Squash and measures 15 inches long from the top of his head to his heels! 

Total Weight Gain/Loss: +5 since my last doctors visit putting me about +16 pounds all together. Wowzers..

Baby's heartbeat at last visit: I should take this one out because the doctor never tells me, they just say "heartbeat sounds good" and that's really all I need to hear.

Maternity Clothes: YES

Gender: We are having a BOY!

Movement: Yes! Yes! Yes! It's the most amazing thing. He's a squirmier and I think he's crawling right up into my rib cage. As I sit here this afternoon I can see him squirming around in my belly. It's amazing I had to call a co-worker over. I was going to get Micayla but she was on the phone.

Sleep: Sleeping great other than getting up to pee and it's so much more difficult getting out of bed lately.

What I miss: Being able to get up and out of the couch and/or chair, it seems like a chore to have to get up, or tie my shoes, that's exhausting. I think I'll be keeping this as my "what I miss" but I also miss my energy.

Cravings: Chocolate Shakes - definitely! And I've been starting to crave pop, cherry Pepsi.

Symptoms: Lots of kicking going on and I love it. 

Best Moment This Week: Finally "seeing" him move around in my belly. I love it! It's like I'm having a little party in my belly he's moving that much. I still can't believe I only have 11 weeks to go! We are finally planning my baby shower. It will be here before we know it. We are getting the final bids on our basement and once we decide on that the basement will get started. I can't wait, there is just so much to do and time is running out.

I go for my 3 hour glucose test tomorrow morning, not looking forward to it but I'm glad I'm getting it out of they way, hopefully everything will be fine because I would hate to have to give up chocolate shakes and Cherry Pepsi. But I'll do what I have to do for this baby, he's my world!

I've decided not to go with the furniture I posted last week, so I'm kind of back to square one, well not that far back just have to decide what I want.
