29 weeks

How far along? 29 weeks, 4 days.

Baby Size: Nearly 3 pounds and 17 inches.

Total weight gain: About 21 pounds, and I can no longer see my legs when I look down. This week Matt looked at me and said "When did you get so pregnant?!" 

Maternity clothes? Yes! 

Stretch marks? No.

Sleep: Sleep is pretty inconsistent. I sleep like a rock some nights. Others I have a hard time falling asleep. And one night this week I went to the bathroom 3 times before actually falling asleep! I've started taking a nap during the day if I get tired.

Best moment(s) this week: I had my 3-hour glucose screening on Tuesday morning and was SO relieved to hear that my results were normal. Thank you for your prayers as I waited to hear whether I had gestational diabetes or not! Last week was such a good reminder that while eating healthy and taking care of myself are important, I am not ultimately in control of this pregnancy (or anything!) and that the Lord is sovereign over all. 

Miss Anything? Not really. Sometimes I have a sushi craving, but we could remedy that with a little homemade vegetarian sushi :).

Movement: This week I've tried to capture some of the movement on video (with little success). I have a couple videos where she kicks once or twice, but not a whole lot. I'm going to keep trying!

Food cravings: Goat cheese, salads. It seems like my cravings go back and forth from fresh produce to spicy foods!

Anything making you queasy or sick: No

Gender: Girl.

Labor Signs: No.

Symptoms: I'm starting to notice how thick my hair has gotten. Now I can tell that my belly is growing every day, and it's still a little achey every once in awhile.

Belly Button in or out? Halfie.

Wedding rings on or off? On. 

Mood: I'm getting more and more excited the closer we get!

Looking forward to: Ordering the crib mattress (oops, we forgot to do that this week!) and looking more seriously at rocker/gliders.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! We're kicking it off with homemade pizza and the Olympic opening tonight.
