29 Weeks

How far along: 29 Weeks 6 Days


Total Weight Gain/Loss: I’ll find out tomorrow

Maternity Clothes: are fitting a little more snug these days

Stretch Marks: no better no worse

Sleep: I’m tossing and turning a lot even with the Unisom. My hips pop every time I roll over.

Movement: She is starting to become more cramped to I just feel more pushing than kicks and punches. Sometimes I still get a surprise attack out of nowhere.

Food Cravings/Aversions: I want ice cream so bad and I’m trying to avoid the high fat foods so that hopefully I can make it a little longer without having another gall bladder attack. So far I’ve had 4 attacks since 19 weeks and this is getting old really quick.

Gender: Girl

Belly Button In or Out: I’m noticing more change now and it’s getting close to flat.

What I Miss: Being able to eat what I want and I'm not digging the sensation of  feeling like I’ve been kicked between the legs on a daily basis. On an up note the sciatica is better.

What I am Looking Forward To: Getting the rest of the finishing touches done in the nursery.

Weekly Wisdom: Well the best I have this week is always look down to make sure it’s your purse on your arm and not another random bag. I can’t believe I forgot my purse .

Best Moment This Week: Seeing the fireworks and feeling Gracie moving around like crazy. I can’t believe this time next year she’ll be here and even old enough to maybe enjoy them. Oh and I can’t forget a big thank you to Mama and Larry for painting the bedroom. Pictures coming soon…

Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though -- as you’ve also probably noticed -- they don’t necessarily coincide with your own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments.
