29 Weeks!!!

How Far Along: 29 Weeks!

Total Weight Gain/Loss: Up 13 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. Not bad seeing how 5 pounds of that is baby.

Maternity Clothes: Yes! Though it seems some of shirts are getting shorter as my belly gets bigger.

Movement: Very frequent now.  I can see it more and more from the outside and they are most active in the morning and evening and when I am relaxing.

Sleep: Not horrible.  Hip pain and frequent peeing are the two things that interrupt it the most.

Gender: A boy and a girl!!!

Symptoms: Fatigue, round ligament pain/cramping, stuffiness, hip pain.

Cravings: Sweets, just because I can’t have them.

Freak-out of the Week: Just waiting for the MRI results – but not totally freaking out.  I’m sure everything is fine or at least something that can be corrected.

Looking Forward To: Continuing to work on the nursery and installing the car seats.  And of course the MRI results which I hope to have in today.

Next Appointment: OB appointment 5/23 and growth ultrasound 5/30

Miscellaneous: Making good progress on the nursery which is fun.  Finally getting some clothes put away.  Still need to go to the diaper store and pick up some more cloth diapers and then we should be good to go in that department!  Then it will just be keeping them in as long as possible!!

 

29 Weeks - At week 29, baby is getting plumper. Begin to prepare yourself for the absolute cuteness you'll soon experience every day! Right now, she measures about 15.2 to 16.7 inches long and weighs about 2.5 to 3.8 pounds. She still has a long way to go, and will be tripling her weight before birth!

While your belly has grown bigger than you probably ever thought possible, there's still only so much it can stretch, so baby's accommodations at Hotel Bump have gotten a little tight these days. With the squirmer inside of you, you probably already realized that. And if you feel a subtle twitch, baby might actually be hiccupping!
