Baby Love - Week 29







How Far Along: 29 Weeks
Size of Baby: Baby is over 16 inches long and weighs almost 3lbs
Total Weight Gain:  24lbs
Maternity Clothes: I am giving in more every day.  Normal clothes are just not comfortable any more
Gender: Its a Boy!
Movement: Rolling, poking and kicking every day.  I think he's getting pretty squished in there.
Sleep: What was it like to sleep a full night?  I really cant remember any more.
Food Cravings: Still no major cravings.  I have been indulging in some cookies and ice cream lately though. 
What I Miss: Comfort!  I miss being able to bend over.  I miss easily shaving my legs.  I miss sushi and cold beer.  I miss prosciutto.  I miss a lot, I know its all worth it in the end though.
Symptoms: Unfortunately the swelling has begun.  My feet have been pretty achy as well.
Best Moment This Week: Fun date night with my husband on Saturday.  It was great to go out just the two of us for a few hours.  Its crazy to think we wont be able to do that so easily in just a few months
What I Am Looking Forward To: Our first piece of furniture for the nursery is set to arrive tomorrow.  I'm so excited to see it in person and get a feel for what the room will look like with a crib.

Baby Love - Week 28







How Far Along: 28 Weeks
Size of Baby: Baby is about 16 inches long and weighs about 2 1/2 lbs
Total Weight Gain:  18lbs
Maternity Clothes: I am not a fan of maternity clothes but unfortunately I feel that it is inevitable that I will be wearing them in the next few weeks.  I did manage to find a couple of cute shirts with my mom this week and I can still fit into a good amount of my dresses so hopefully that's all I will need for the last few months
Gender: Its a Boy!
Movement: Moving and kicking mainly at night now
Sleep: Its still not happening....
Food Cravings: Spaghetti with marinara sounds super yummy right now
What I Miss: I have to admit, there are a lot of things that I am missing right now.  They mostly have to do with just being comfortable 
Symptoms: I just noticed that my belly button is about to become and outie.  I was really hoping this was one symptom I wouldn't get.
Best Moment This Week: My mom is heading back to the east coast today.  We had a really fun visit though.  We did tons of baby shopping and ate lots of yummy food.  I was sad to see her go, next time she visit wee will have our little guy with us, just so crazy to think about still.
What I Am Looking Forward To: I am looking forward to a couple of things this week.  I am really hoping for an easy and enjoyable 3rd trimester.  We are also heading to the doctor this week and I am hoping to be bumped up to 2 week appointments, I really hate waiting 4 weeks to hear his heartbeat. Lastly, we have a fun date night planned on Saturday.  We are heading to the cirque show in Del Mar.
