28 and 29 Weeks


How far along: 29 Weeks tomorrow!

Baby size: 16 inches long, 2.5 lbs (about the size of a head of cauliflower)
Weight gain: I will find out tomorrow. Hopefully I am not huge. Some days I look in the mirror and feel huge and other days I don't and I wonder where my baby is? Maybe I am just getting use to my new size.
Maternity clothes: Yes, although today I am wearing a not maternity shirt, so I still pull those out sometimes. 
Stretch marks: Nope lots of lotion though.
Sleep: I am really just missing our bed so much. This bed is just not comfortable. Yet I am still sleeping pretty well.
Gender: Baby girl.
Best moment this week: Daniel and I were watching a movie and baby girl was having a party. She kicked so hard and moved so much. Although it was strange she just felt so strong and I loved that!
Looking forward to: We are going home this weekend since Daniel has some time off for the Fourth of July. This wasn't originally part of the plan since there is nothing taking us home, but we really miss being in our apartment with our stuff and it just seemed like it could be a good thing. I am looking forward to settling into our home more!
What I miss: I guess I miss the little things that didn't bother me when I was not pregnant. I feel like I have a whole bunch of little pregnancy symptoms-like the need for Tums after meals, or having leg cramps at night. But I have gotten so use to these things that it is hard to remember what it was like not having to stretch my calves before bed. I think it will be interesting being not pregnant and some of these things going away (hopefully!)
Movement: Yes. Keep on kicking baby girl. You are getting so strong!
Food cravings: Fruit always sounds good to me. Just fresh, cold fruit. Also ice cream. Yum. And Mexican food, but is it really a craving if I craved Mexican food before pregnancy too? I still love it and love good chips and salsa.
Aversions: No way I eat what I want :)
Nursery: We almost bought the crib and then didn't and now I feel like we aren't sure what color we are going to get. I can't wait to be home and to just make some decisions!
Miscellaneous: Seriously sometimes time feels so slow. But then it has already been two weeks since I wrote a pregnancy update and I missed week 28. I think one thing that makes it slow is that lots of my friends are pregnant and are/were due June, July, and August. So when they post stuff they are always 4-10 weeks ahead of me and I am always just catching up. But really only 11-12 weeks left. 3 months. It is going to fly by I am sure. I feel like there is so much to do before baby gets here-like she really will need a place to rest her head and maybe some clothes and stuff like that- so really time is a good thing right now!

Here I am just shy of 29 weeks. I was having a really hard time capturing the bump. I look ten times more pregnant if I hold my phone at different angles so it is hard to get the true nature of the bump perfectly, but for the most part this is what I see.
