29 Weeks

29 Weeks (4/2)

I am wearing my KU shirt for the championship game. Sadly they didn't win, but it was a pretty good game.  By the way, this shirt is a women's small. Just want to throw that out there! :)
Not much going on this week. I am starting to get excited for my showers in a couple of weeks! I have decided I must be getting closer to the end, everyone is asking "how much longer do you have?" rather than "how far are long are you?".  The bad thing is when I answer with excitement "only 11 more weeks!" they look at me with huge eyes. I guess I'm not as far along as I look.  I did have a dream last week that I delivered at 31 weeks and 4 days. Yes, it was that specific. I looked it up in my chart and everything. She was a big baby and didn't need to go to the NICU or anything. Crazy how dreams work, just hope it doesn't come true!

How far along: 29 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: Yup, I've officially gained a pound a week. My initial goal was to not gain more than 30 pounds the whole pregnancy, now my goal is to not gain more than 45 pounds haha.
Maternity clothes?: Yes, except for that KU shirt :)
Stretch marks?: None that I can see anyway
Sleep: It has been a little better this week. I hate that it takes so much effort to get comfortable. And now that Chris is stuck in the corner, I am in charge of giving him his phone/alarm off the floor. Not the easiest thing to do.
Best moment this week: A girl from work is letting me borrow her swing. It looks so cute in the nursery! I also got an awesome deal on diapers! Thanks Erin, I think...

Movement: All the time, I love it!
Food cravings: Basically anything unhealthy
Gender: GIRL! If it's a boy I'm in trouble!
What I miss: I got a spray tan, but it's not as good as the tanning bed. At least I won't be ghost white for Easter
Milestones: Third trimester is here and I am almost 3/4 of the way done!

From Babycenter:

Your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 pounds (like a butternut squash) and is a tad over 15 inches long from head to heel. His muscles and lungs are continuing to mature, and his head is growing bigger to make room for his developing brain. To meet his increasing nutritional demands, you'll need plenty of protein, vitamins C, folic acid, and iron. And because his bones are soaking up lots of calcium, be sure to drink your milk (or find another good source of calcium, such as cheese, yogurt, or enriched orange juice). This trimester, about 250 milligrams of calcium are deposited in your baby's hardening skeleton each day.
