29 Weeks! 11 To Go!
Due Date: May 15, 2013
Gender: It's a surprise! I have NO idea.
I thought originally it was a boy. But, now I'm not so sure. Leaning
more towards a girl. The only one who knows the gender is my husband.
Yes, this increases the level of difficulty for me. LOL!
How far along? 29Weeks.
Current measurements: 163.4 lbs (weight by my
scale just moments ago fully dressed. Can you see I'm begging for
mercy?), 41 in. around. OH MY GOODNESS!!!
Total weight gain: 31-33
lbs. I'm beginning to wonder how I can reverse this, if at
all.
Movement: I
think baby is beginning to run out of space. I no longer feel jabs
and kicks. I feel more rolling, stretching, and just all around
movement. Sometimes I feel what feels like tap dancing for lack of a
better visual. It's a little weird.
Maternity clothes: Still
no. I definitely need them though. I tortured myself last weekend and
rearranged my closet. I moved what I can no longer fit to the lower
bar and what still fits to the upper bar. Needless to say the lower
bar is quite full. Pickins are slim! I may not make it to May on what
I've got.
Stretch marks: Yes. Around my belly
button. Maybe a few on my sides. But I've had 2 kids so I'm not sure
what's new.
Sleep: Sleep is evading me! This week was not
good. I feel like I've pulled a stomach muscle. It's wakes me up in
the middle of the night and is quite painful. Last night I actually
had to get out of bed and attempt to walk it off. It didn't really
help.
Best moment this week: Last night I stood
next to Mr. while he sat at the table. He put his face to my belly
and talked to the baby. Then he put his ear on it to see what he
could hear. Later he and Little Miss sat with me on the couch and had
their hands on my belly feeling the baby move. It was a precious
moment.
Miss anything? Still
miss not feeling fat. I had a few moments this week of sadness. I
just feel big, undesireable, and unattractive. This is a new feeling
for me. On Sunday, it almost had me in tears.
Food cravings: Nothing
in particular at the moment. I just want to eat. Constantly. It seems
as if I can not get the feeling to go away. I just want to eat! All
the time. This is SO not good for my waistline. LOL!
Anything making you queasy or sick?
I completely forgot about this last week and it happened again twice
this week. I get this painful “contraction” feeling that
resonates from my back around to the front of my belly. It makes me
nauseous. It's very weird and unpleasant.
Labor signs: Not yet. It's too soon. Really
tough Braxton Hicks, but not labor.
Symptoms: Shortness of breath after doing
certain activities.
Pain in my ligaments. Feels like I pulled a muscle.
My hands and feet swell. Still only in the evening.
As long as it stays that way, I'm good. I can deal with that no
problem.
Nesting. But I know it comes and goes.
Starting to feel exhausted by day's end. This could
be because I've started waking up at 5 a.m. again. Not to mention the
middle of the night bathroom visit and the tossing and turning.
Belly button in or out? Out. Been out since
beginning of 2nd trimester. Maybe the end of my 1st. I showed by the
time I was 4 weeks. No joke!
Wedding rings on or off? On. But my wedding
band is getting tight. :-(
Happy or moody most of the time: I've
been more happy than not. But I have had some sad moments. For
various reasons. My patience is getting a tad better. I noticed that
I'm not yelling as much this week too. I'll credit that to my
routines being in place. Thanks FLYLady.
Looking forward to: I'm
beginning to look forward to my baby shower. I'm not sure why just
yet. But I suppose because it's just a month from the baby's due
date. I'll have just 4 weeks to go from there.
Miracles & Blessings,
P.S. I found these questions on www.annasaccone.com.
I tweaked a few, but I thought they were perfect. I enjoyed reading
hers as she journaled her pregnancy. I hope she doesn't mind me using
them. If you have a moment, go check out her site. I'm sure you'll
enjoy it.
