29 weeks


How far along? 29 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: + 9lbs from pre-pregnancy
Maternity clothes? Yes
Stretch marks? Yes
Sleep: I'm running on empty right now, so that's not the best time to answer this one.
Best moment this week: Having Greg raspberry my belly and Baby G jumped! Just like Brock used to do. It was seriously, so sweet!
Worst moment this week: Having lots and lots of braxton hicks contractions at work one night. So many that I called the doctor to see if I needed to come in & be monitored. "Just get lots of rest and drink lots of water" is what I was told to do. Rest? Have they met Brock?!
Movement: She has been super-active this week!
Food cravings: Nothing this week
Gender: Still a girl as far as we know
Labor Signs: Just lots of Braxton Hicks contractions when I'm super busy at work.
Belly Button in or out? Still in but getting more shallow
What I miss: My husband being able to be around for all the fun stuff. But seriously, the raspberry was so sweet!
What I am looking forward to: Getting our house listed so we can make more plans.
Weekly Wisdom: Children are the purpose of life. We were once children and someone took care of us. Now it is our turn to care.
Milestones: Getting Baby G to jump at daddy's raspberry!
Technical baby news: 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.
15.2-16.7 inches, 2.5-3.8 lbs. The website that I use says Baby G is a squash this month, but I'm pretty sure that this is a pumpkin!
