Weekly Update: Week 29

WAs going to take a picture at work but then I forgot so here it is haha

How far along? 29 weeks


How big is baby? 16 inches (head to feet) and close to 3 pounds


Weight gain/loss? Sticking with 30ish boooo


Maternity clothes? exclusively and I need to buy a swellybelly stat


Stretchies? just on boobs thank goodness


Sleep? Good honestly. I'm used to waking up every few hours for the bathroom but I can fall right back asleep


Best moment this week? I guess just making it to another week


Movement? Her movement has slowed actually...I'm guessing because it's getting tighter in there...but at night she moves to the front instead of hiding out and it gets really hard and funny shapes haha


Food cravings? coke but I've been thinking I really like ketchup...but only with fries, tots, and eggs but I eat it a lot


Food aversions/foods that make me sick? none whoot


Gender? Girly Poo


Labor signs? just some braxton hicks


Birth Prep? none really right now


Belly button in or out? It’s out generally and when she's under it, it pokes out.


What I miss? walking normal...and back pain free


What I am looking forward to next week? 10 weeks down, 7 until full term


Milestones? 85-90% viability!!


New things this week? Quite a few confirmations on our baby shower. So far 15 are a go and I have about 15-20ish more to see if they are or not.


Weekly Wisdom? I haven't gotten any really


Emotions? Pretty good...I mean I do cry easier but I'm not a spazoid like I had been


Belly/Body Changes? I am noticing more weight in my thighs now...and my back really seems to be the carrier of it all. I would say I don't notice a belly change from last week but it could be because I see myself everyday.

Gestational Diabetes

So it had been a week and I wanted to know the results of my GD testing because I'm impatient and didn't want to wait another week haha

The nurse called me back to say that I passed!!!!

I had an 82 and the max normal range is 130! So I wasn't even close to being at the max whooot

So so so happy. She also said I'm not anemic and that my CBC looks normal which looks at my red and white blood cells.

Very good news

Tree Decal

Auntie Mel came up and helped me put together the wall decal. It was a little tedious but we're perfectionist so that is why however the air conditioner froze up Saturday night (but some stupid kids came knocking at our door at 11:45 and freaked us out) so there was noway I was going out to check on it.

So yesterday morning I did and sure enough it was froze up bleh. So I had to turn the air off and just run our garage fan in the hallway into the room.

Eventually it thawed so I turned it back on but it was still hot as blazes in there haha

Uncle Ben came to the rescue and brought freon (worked at the plant then drove 2 hours to do that stayed about 5 minutes and drove back home another 2 hours)...he's a great uncle (and the only real one of all of them haha)

A 7 month pregnant lady can not live in South Louisiana with no air...it was like 115 with Heat Index.

Anyways these pictures are from my phone so they are kind of grainy but I LOVE LOVE LOVE how it turned out. The first picture on the left bottom you can kind of see the Fawn. It was very close to the wall color (silly me) but in person it kind of looks like a shadow which is pretty cool. It definitely was worth the money though.

Weekly Update- Week 28

How far along? 28 weeks ... 7 months....3rd Trimester weeeeeeeeeee

How big is baby? over 15 inches (head to feet) and probably over two pounds

Weight gain/loss? ugh so it is confirmed...I'm a fatass. Total gain...29lbs folks!!!! Honestly I don't understand it. I eat fairly healthy (only indulging here and there), don't overeat, and drink tons of water. For my weight before I should only gain 5 more lbs and I highly doubt that will happen. Boo

Maternity clothes? exclusively

Stretchies? still just the boobs...knock on wood

Sleep? great until I have to pee which is now about 5 times a night and then my constant fear on not being on my left side enough

Best moment this week? Hearing my boo's heartbeat at the docs

Movement? all the time. It's comical to even do fetal kick counts because she gets 10 in within 5 minutes haha

Food cravings? nothing really
Food aversions/foods that make me sick? none whoot

Gender? Girl!!!

Labor signs? Braxton Hicks but last night I was awoken with what felt like the worst cramps ever but more so on the right side...it lasted about 1.5 minutes and I was able to fall back asleep...it kind of freaked me out though!

Birth Prep? nothing this week...I'm exhausted

Belly button in or out? It’s out all the way some days and some it's halvsies

What I miss? sleep and having a normal back

What I am looking forward to next week? It’s my last week in the 20s! Then it’s really in the home stretch!

Milestones? 85-90% viability!! 3rd Trimester!

New things this week? Apparently from this week on, baby gains 1/2 a pound a week.

Weekly Wisdom? relax when you need to...I need to take this to heart because my f'n feet are killing me and I have them propped up right now

Belly/Body Changes? Bigger everyday...oy vey....and my back is starting to fill out a lot

30 Day Challenge- Day 30

What Have I learned from blogging?

Well I was a blogger before so I wouldn't say much other then the monetize button but that was by luck.

I think it was great that I actually stuck with it the entire time and really wasn't too late on any days (didn't count the weekends as being late).

It was fun and I'd like to do something like this again.

30 Day Challenge0 Day 29

My Best Feature

I get tons of compliments on my smile and more specifically being photo genic....hey I'm the eldest, and a Leo what did you expect haha

I also get a ton of compliments on my eyes...which is funny since most folks who have brown eyes wish they had a different color but I guess a lot of people want dark brown eyes...and something about the almond shape??

And as odd as this is my finger nails....I've never been one to chew and I've actually always had long nails...now with the pre-natal's they just seem stronger. I'll be sad when I cut them down so I don't hurt missy poo.

30 Day Challenge- Day 28

My most luxurious purchase?

Our wedding
