29 Weeks

Photobucket
How far along? 29 weeks. CRAZY. I’m now seeing my doctor every other week.
Maternity clothes? Still a mix. I need some good yoga/workout pants that are maternity. Any recommendations? 
Stretch marks? Nope.  
Sleep: I’m  still sleeping like a rock. SO thankful for this! 
Best moment this week:  Making burp cloths with my mom and relaxing over the weekend. And also getting started on our kitchen “upgrade”…hopefully it will happen before baby boy arrives. 
Miss Anything? Not really….just sleeping on my stomach. 
Movement: Yes, like crazy some days and then not as much on other days. During our birthing class little man kicked me so hard I gasped. I think he was trying to tell me birthing class is dumb! And I totally agree. 
Food cravings: Cheerios and anything cold. I walked Wrigley the other night while eating a popsicle. I think my neighbors got a kick out of that that one.  
Anything making you queasy or sick: No.  
Gender: Baby boy

 Labor Signs: None.

Symptoms: I’m still loving being pregnant. This week it hit 90 degrees three days in a row….SO not my favorite. My fingers and ankles get a little swollen when it’s that hot outside.  
Belly Button in or out? In, but it’s getting more shallow. 

Wedding rings on or off? On

Mood: I totally have the itch to decorate and start projects all over the house. Bring on the nesting stage!

Looking forward to: Seeing our baby boy in 11 weeks! And our baby showers have been scheduled…I can’t wait!

    Love the weekly updates, this is such a fun way to track pregnancy! Just wondering…do you do or use anything to prevent stretch marks or are you just not prone to get them due to heredity?
