29 Weeks

Pregnancy Highlights
How far along: 29 Weeks

Size of Baby: A little over a foot and a half long and weighs close to 3lbs.

Total Weight Loss/Gain: Gained a total of 23lbs.

Maternity Clothes: Everything.

Gender: It's a girl!

Movement: She is very active and constantly moving. She likes to stretch and kick my ribs. It's really entertaining to watch the belly and see the wave of movements or how it will look lopsided at times.

What I miss: Laying on my stomach at night. Being able to bend with ease. Being able to paint my own toes.

Cravings: Anything spicy. My eating habits are pretty normal. I'm not constantly hungry. I was just telling Adam that this pregnancy is definitely different food wise because the only time I really eat anything is at meal time. Pregnancy used to be the only time I would snack.

Symptoms: Heartburn, frequent bathroom breaks, having a hard time getting comfortable at night. Swollen ankles on occasion. We have had temps over 100 degrees for over 30 days in a row and in the last couple of weeks, the temps have risen as high as 115 degrees at our house. While I'm not outside constantly, I still like to get out and do things and be active. 

Best Moment of the Week: As of last week, I am officially in my third trimester. Our best friends from California came out to spend five days with us and I enjoyed every minute of it. We were able to visit some of our favorite restaurants and that is always a great thing for a pregnant lady.

 

I have been absent from the blog world for the past couple of weeks. Things aren't really slowing down, but I'll be sure to blog more and even include pictures. My next appointment is next Thursday.
