how far along? 29 weeks
how are you measuring? ???
size of baby? baby is 2 1/2 pounds, like a butternut squash, and a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel.
heartbeat? 150 bpm at our 28 week appt.
total weight gain/loss? +15 last time I checked but prob. more that that now
maternity clothes? they are a must
stretch marks? I don't think so, but the dark line goes all the way from top to bottom of the belly now. Any my belly button is completely flat.
sleep? Pretty good, my hips get sore from sleeping on my sides but I can't really complain.

best moment this week? celebrating my birthday & getting some baby/nursery projects done!
movement? Lots of it. For a few weeks I have been feeling jabs and I will touch my belly and can feel the elbow/foot/bottom that jabbed me and can rub it and then it will disappear. This week Trevor got to play that little game with the baby and it really surprised him :) Makes it seem like a real baby in there!
food cravings? nothing I can think of...
gender predictions? I really have no clue... we will find out in +- 70 days!
what i miss: being able to pick things off the ground easily
what i'm looking forward to: Trevor won Husband of the Year this week and gave me a gift certificate for the "Mommy-to-Be" package at a spa here in town for my birthday. I scheduled it for the 28th and can't wait!!
how are you feeling? pretty good! Acid reflux has been pretty bad this week and nausea is lingering but overall I can't complain!
bonus category:
best Trevor quote this week? Trevor has a knack for saying things that could be taken somewhat offensively but he doesn't mean it in that way at all. This weeks was as we were taking my 29 week picture last night. We didn't get around to taking it until probably 11PM and it had been a long day. He took the first picture and I looked at the screen to see if I looked okay, which I didn't think I did. I said "ugh, I look fat and tired." To which he responded, "Which part of that isn't true?"... love you too babe! So please excuse my picture this week again, I'm fat and tired these days :)
You need to bring him or her this wau to be photographed once he/she pops out! :-)
ReplyDeleteI would love that! How do you schedule those kinds of things with the due date so up in the air?
ReplyDeleteWhoops, I guess this isn't Facebook that tells you when you have a response! I spoke with Cara about this briefly last weekend. What I typically do is just get the due date on my radar screen and then the mom emails/texts/calls me once the baby has arrived we set it up that way. If you can't come this way in the typical perfect newborn photo timeframe (a week-10 days), we can figure something out! Email, text, or call me sometime! erin@erinlohden.com or 469-524-9637 :-)
