29 Weeks

How far along: 29 weeks

Gender: A bouncing baby boy

Total weight gain: Not sure—haven’t checked on Publix’s scale this week :)

Movement: This kid is wearing me out…and I still have 11 more weeks to go! Today he had his little rear RIGHT up against the top of my belly during a whole class period! So lately I’ll rub gently but firmly on him until he decides to switch positions…which isn’t that often!

Food cravings: Still loving sweets…and cheese! YUM!

Signs of pregnancy: My races to the bathroom have definitely increased. One morning this past week, I made three pit stops within an hour—a new record for me.

Sleep: I’m feeling more and more exhausted by the end of the day. Usually I’m dozing on the couch by 10pm.

Labor signs: None really

Happy or moody? Feeling upbeat, excited, anxious.

Stretch marks? Can’t find any…but I search for them every day!

Maternity clothes? I’m realizing that I can no longer truly fit into my regular pants :(  I wore a pair today and had to leave them unbuttoned, but then they started to UNZIP throughout the day. Clearly those pants are no longer a wardrobe option.

Wedding rings on or off? No swollen fingers (yet?) so they’re still on

Miss anything? Sushi—it hit me (again) this week just how much I miss my salmon rolls.

Best moment of the week: I treated myself to a pedicure this week. Nothing too special, but it’s been over two months since the last time I got one. Always nice to be pampered!

Looking forward to: Week 30! :)
