One concerning thing is that I've been experiencing a ton of Braxton-Hicks contractions. Some are painful, some aren't. I'm sure these are just happening when I try to do too much without drinking enough water, but still - disconcerting. I have a doctor appointment on Friday and will check with them about it.
As you saw yesterday I've been busy getting the nursery ready. We're still waiting for the rest of the furniture to arrive, but I'm doing what I can in the meantime. I also made a big trip to the baby store to stock up on basic essentials. Despite this, my list doesn't seem much smaller - ha!
Lady baby is the size of an acorn squash this week and is moving a ton! She's a pretty busy girl in there and I love it. Every twitch and jab is a reminder to me of the miracle she is - love, love this part. :-)
How far along: 29 weeks
Net weight gain/loss: will find out officially on Friday
Maternity clothes: yup.
Stretch marks: none yet
Belly button: mostly out
Sleep: pretty good, although I wake up feeling very sore and not particularly well-rested
Baby movement: yes - lots!
Gender: tiny girl
Food cravings: buffalo chicken wings {great for growing a baby...I know - ha!}
Food aversions: nothing really
What I miss: sleeping on my belly
Looking forward to: getting ready for our family beach trip in a few weeks
Best moment this week: getting a few more things done in preparation for her arrival
Milestones: baby is gaining {more and more} weight
I would have to agree that it seems to be flying by! :) When I seent the post header, I was like WOW! You and my friend, Katie, are so close. (http://tulsadetails.blogspot.com/) I just cannot believe you both are so. very. close!
ReplyDeleteyou look great. I think our pregnancies are going by fast. I'll be 29 weeks on Friday.
ReplyDeleteLove your dress/tunic....whatever you look simply beautiful! I had a lot of BH with Hudson and very few with Parker. I was told that was pretty common with a 2nd pregnancy, but hopefully you don't get more.....always a little nerve wreaking ;). Little Miss Ladybug will be here before you know it! :)
ReplyDeleteYou look awesome. Love that dress too! I got braxton hicks earlier in the pregnancy with each one. I think it's pretty normal. Just try and make sure you are hydrated. it's hard to remember to drink enough when you are so busy being mom already! Lol. I hope they reassure you thats all it is when you go in for your appointment. 11 weeks +/- to go! Yay!
ReplyDeleteOh...and I just went back to look at last weeks post again...your belly looks so much rounder and higher this week. Maybe the pattern making it more pronounced....but I love that we can tell how much ladybug is growing in there so quickly! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE that dress!!! And your bump is adorable :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that dress!
ReplyDeleteYou look so great and seriously... ahhhh you make me want to be prego!!! That is a feat! ;) I miss that movement... so awesome!!!! Look forward, still, to seeing that nursery !!!! :) Glad to hear you're feeling well still!
