29 weeks


How far along: 29 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: Up 28 pounds
Maternity clothes: I'm sick of them. I'm ready to be skinny again and wear my normal clothes.
Stretch marks: Same ones, but they don't stand out as much as they used to for some reason.
Sleep: It's going ok. But I miss good sleep.
Best moment this week: Getting all of Noah's presents assembled/washed/put away. It won't be long now!
Movement: After our trip to the doctor, Noah must have realized he better start moving more. And he has been kicking me HARD all week long.
Food cravings: Fried rice....actually just the soy sauce. Anything salty really.
Gender: The ultrasound tech confirmed that he's still a boy!
Labor signs: I had a few Braxton-Hicks this week. Those aren't fun.
Belly button in or out: Out
What I miss: Feeling like a normal person...having energy, drinking 8 Mountain Dew's a day, wearing normal clothes
What I am looking forward to: Getting to see our son again tomorrow at our 4D ultrasound (take 2)! Pray he cooperates!
Weekly wisdom: I'm all tapped out.
Milestone: Passing our first non-stress test.

Hopefully Noah will show us his pretty little face tomorrow afternoon. I'm not looking forward to returning to work tomorrow after this long weekend. Usually I am ready to go back to work, but I'm just so tired and so tired of everything hurting all the time. I'm just getting to the point where I'm tired of being pregnant. It's bittersweet because on one hand I love feeling him move around in my belly and I love being about to go and come as I want, sleep when I want, etc. Then on the other hand, I'm so ready for him to be here so I can hold and cuddle him and I can feel more like a human.

So anyway, that's my pity party. I'll be better tomorrow.

I so understand where you are coming from! I miss wearing whatever, sleeping really well, and I have craved mountain dew a few times too! You look beautiful, and it does feel good to have clothing ready and washed :)

Have a good week.
