29 weeks

This week has been a good one, not a lot of swelling and feeling great! We also had our monthly doctors appointment yesterday and that went good.  I had to do the GD test and they have you fast for 8 hours before. I'm a big breakfast person so not eating when I woke up was hard. I actually like the drink which most people don't. The lady who takes your blood at our office is amazing, I never feel a thing so that wasn't bad. Once I went and sat back down in the waiting room I started to feel dizzy and had major hot sweats. I decided to go walk around the halls and that helped a ton. I was wishing Tyler was with me for this appointment but he wasn't able to make this one. Once I sat back down in the waiting room I got dizzy again so I walked some more. Thankfully I got called back pretty fast and as long as I was standing I did alright. I guess not eating and drinking enough water, plus the blood draw wasn't great for me. We will know today sometime if that test came back good, let's hope so! Otherwise my blood pressure was good, heartbeat was 144 and he is head down! I've gained 23lbs, which seems like a lot but I'm trying to not focus on the number. I don't feel like I look 23lbs heavier and I feel great so I'm gonna focus on that. I gained 40 with Gage and lost 20lbs within the first week or two. Anyways, it was a great appointment, crazy to think after May 2nd I will be going every 2 weeks! 

How far along? 29 weeks

Baby's size? A butternut squash, doctor said he's around 3 lbs! 

Total weight gain:  23lbs

Maternity clothes?  Yes, my shirt selection is becoming smaller and smaller. 

Sleep: I'm still so thankful for my good sleep! I know in two months our lives will be flipped upside down! Last night I went to bed at 9:30 and got a good 8.5 hours of sleep, not waking up once! 

Best moment(s) this past week: Our appointment yesterday, decorating the nursery, and maternity pictures. 

Miss Anything? I wouldn't say I miss it at all but I'm missing being active. Everyone right now is training for some kind of race or losing weight. I know I can still be active with this pregnancy, but it's just so much easier to relax. ;) 

Movement: He's so quiet during the day, I rarely feel him move till about 8:30-9 at night. 

Anything making you queasy or sick: Steak, uncooked meat. 

Cravings: Nothing this week, Chinese food even sounds gross right now. Wowza, I can't believe that! 

Labor Signs: No, and hopefully not for another 10 weeks! 

Gender: Boy!

Symptoms: You know how I mentioned in the last post my face was cleared up, well I jinxed myself! I broke out this week, thankfully right after pictures! I can't wait to get back on birth control and to whip that problem out! 

Belly Button in or out? in

Wedding rings on or off? Off :(
Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, and emotional! 

Looking forward to:  Gage starts T-ball next week, I'm really excited for that!

your baby at 29 weeks

• He's getting a little cramped in there, since he's growing so fast. But you probably already realize that, since you're getting all those jabs and kicks.
• He's growing white fat deposits under his skin, and his energy is surging because of it.
• Feel a subtle twitch? It might be baby hiccupping.
