29 Weeks
How far along: 29 weeks
Gender: Girl!
Weight gain: 20 pounds
Maternity clothes: Increasingly. (boo.)
Stretch marks: Nope.
Belly button in or out: In. At my last ultrasound, the tech said my button was "so small". I would definitely counter that it's not so much small as very deep... (also, my wedding ring is still on...but there've been a few times I thought it'd have to come off for good!)
Sleep: Ugh. The peeing (and the renewed pregnancy-induced caffeine sensitivity) keeping me up have NOT been my friends.
Worst moment this week: Feeling frustrated with the whole perinatologist situation. Hopefully a frank conversation with whomever we see tomorrow will do the trick! Runner Up: Feeling emotionally fragile after watching this video late one night. It left me feeling hopeful and amazed, but also pretty scared.
Best moment this week: We had the BEST time in Sedona last weekend! Every part of it - with the exception of trying to make two little boys behave in the 470 sq. ft. studio condo - was really very fun!
Miss anything: Cooking dinner without having to sit down because I feel like I might pass out.
Movement: Yes. I can count on her moving at certain times of the day now. And if she doesn't, I worry and then make her by drinking something or taking deep breaths.
Cravings: Chocolate.
Queasy or sick: Nope!
Looking forward to: Tomorrow's ultrasound. And getting started on my [long] list of "stuff" to do over the next two months.
And for good measure, here's a couple of shots of the boys with the 28 week board. Too busy = no belly...
