29 weeks

How far along? 29 weeks... now onto my 30s!

 

Total weight gain/loss: 20 lbs as of last Tuesday

 

Maternity clothes? Still mixing and matching, most of my pants are maternity unless they are stretchy....and I get to wear stylish compression socks...well, I actually only have to wear one on my right leg. I am having circulation problems in my right leg and my veins are so pretty!

Sleep: sleeping is hard when you have to get up 6 times a night to pee!

Best moment this week:  At my 29 week appointment, little Bailey was kicking the doctor and the Doppler heart microphone....she is like her mommy and doesn't like anyone getting in her personal space.

Also, Bailey and my cat Holmes were having a kicking war. Every time Holmes would put his paws on my belly, she would kick at them.

Miss Anything? running, walking like a normal person, going camping, and happy hours

Enjoyments:  Seeing and hearing how excited Stevie is about his little girls arrival.

Movement: She moves so much, but with her getting bigger it is starting to get a little uncomfortable. It is kinda weird when an elbow or knee pokes out making my belly cone-shaped.

Food cravings:  Fruit, mostly strawberries (which I normally don't care for much) and salty chips!

Anything making you queasy or sick: the stupid iron pills I have to take do a number on my belly!

Have you started to show yet: We grow everyday!

 

Belly Button: Its out...or flat....it has a mind of its own, but I am NOT an innie anymore!

 

Wedding rings on or off? On  (Our one year anniversary is coming up!)

Happy or Moody most of the time: I have been an emotional pregnant woman this week! Watch out Jekyll and Hyde

Looking forward to: JULY 3rd to be here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

As for Holmes....

 

He really thinks Bailey's new room is all his....poor guy :(



27 weeks completed and Easter!

How far along? 27 weeks down....onto the 3rd trimester...SO crazy!!!!!

 

Total weight gain/loss: I've gained 17lbs+ so far....probably hit the 20 pound mark...

Maternity clothes? Still mixing and matching

Sleep: Been sleeping a little better, but I have the restless leg syndrome at night. I also have weird dreams of being at bars drinking....maybe I miss beer?

Best moment this week:  Finally the big, scary, monster tree that kept falling on our house is in the process of being cut down! YAY!!!

Miss Anything? going more than 1 hour without peeing

Enjoyments:  Putting together Bailey's nursery! It feels so real now!

 

Movement: She  moves alot...Dr. says she is head down and in the right position....she better not be flipping into the breeched position!

Food cravings:  Been on a salty kick this week

Anything making you queasy or sick: not really

 

Have you started to show yet: Big time! Can't hide this belly

Belly Button: It is in some days and kinda flipped on others...I can still push it in if it comes out....Grosses me out!!!

 

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy, little girl has a room now!!

 

Looking forward to: Getting the house Bailey proofed and ready!

 

 

Easter 2012

(Note to self...this dress makes me look like a hot air balloon...don't wear again!)

Stevie and I were driving to my family's Easter and realized that next year we would have a 9 month old with us! I know 2 little girls that will be excited to have Bailey here hunting Easter eggs....

Gracie and Mallory

 

26 weeks down!

Biggest part about my 26th week....the dreaded 3 hour glucose test! I failed the 1 hour test, and I had to do the 3 hour fasting test which despite almost passing out, fasting, and having my blood drawn 3 times in 3 hours.....was not too bad AND I PASSED!!!! YES!!! Looks like I will be ordering my 1 year anniversary strawberry cake from Julia's after-all and eating lots of strawberry pie in Easter :)
