Week 29

How far along? 29 Weeks

Baby is the size of an... acorn squash. The baby is about 2.5 - 3.8 pounds and 15.2 - 16.7 inches

Total weight gain: 15.5 pounds, that means I'm up 4.1 pounds in two weeks!

Maternity clothes? Besides my maternity jeans, which are starting to get uncomfortable because of the heat, I haven't been wearing any maternity clothes. I'm in all dresses!

Stretch marks? Nope, none

Sleep: Sleep has been solid when I've actually let myself sleep. I was so excited about home improvements this week, there were several nights I stayed up until the early morning hours helping Ryan work. 

Best moment this week: Finishing the paint, chair rail and top molding in the baby's room. 

Miss Anything? My energy, its been on and off since entering my third trimester last week. I have no problem staying up until 2:30AM and waking up at 7AM the next morning, but I'm crashing by 4PM.

Movement: Baby has been kind of quiet this week--then again I might have missed many of baby's movements because I've been moving so much myself.

Food cravings: I'm back to wanting veggie burritos from Chipotle.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Still no.


Gender: Its a surprise! But in this gorgeous Garnet & Gold nursery, it won't matter if we have a boy or girl.

Labor Signs: None

Symptoms: Some back pain, fatigue and sore feet.

Belly Button in or out? The top half is popping out, bottom half is still in. Belly button limbo!

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy


Looking forward to: Finishing this house completely, so the only thing we have left to do before baby arrives is wait.

After I found out about the baby, I started following the Little Baby Garvin blog. The author, Jessica Garvin, is an absolutely beautiful girl who has graciously shared her experience throughout her pregnancy with her daughter, Harper. Jessica has inspired me to embrace this time of my life; she has also documented her pregnancy progression in a unique way that I couldn't help but do my own version!
