29 Weeks



Baby Size: Baby is as big as a head of cauliflower this week.
Total weight gain: I think probably sitting right around the same as last week.  I also think this just depends on how much water I drink.
Maternity clothes? same few pairs of pants.
Stretch marks? None new.
Sleep: Sleep as always has been hit or miss.
Best moment this week:  I got to spend some time with my kids for a long four day weekend. They also pushed me to my limits during this time.
Miss Anything? Just a normal routine but that is a work in progress too as Beau started kindergarten this week and we are getting back to bath, book, bed every night.
Movement:  Lots.
Food cravings: Just an afternoon sweet tooth.
Anything making you queasy or sick:  Not that I can think of.
Gender:  Still mostly thinking girl.
Labor Signs: No.
Symptoms: Some heartburn and baby hiccups constantly.  I've read a lot about baby hiccups and hair so we will see if there is any truth in that.
Belly Button in or out? a little of both.
Wedding rings on or off? On
Looking forward to: Beau started kindergarten and it was a rough couple of days for this momma.  I cried every day from Friday to Tuesday.  I think that are others things that made it emotional for me besides just sending my big kid out into the world, but I'm looking forward to a better next week. Beau loves school and is already doing better everyday with a new drop off. And we are off camping with some family for an end of summer trip today.

Looking forward to: Well when I should have been writing this I was looking forward to some time off of work but that passed. I will try to be better about writing early in the week instead of late for the next 11 weeks.
