29 weeks!!

How far along? 29 weeks 3 days
Total weight gain/loss: holding steady at +18.5 pounds (at last doctor visit)






Maternity clothes? Yes, they are pretty comfortable!
Stretch marks? Maybe
Sleep: I can sleep but only in fits and starts! It is impossible to get comfortable and I constantly have to pee!  
Best moment this week: Getting things done in the nursery!! LOVE IT! Can't wait until it's finished so I can post photos!
Movement: Yes all of the time!
Food cravings: muffins!
Gender: BOY
Labor Signs: No but I have been having some Braxton Hicks contractions!
Belly Button in or out? It is still in, but there is a little flap of skin which, keeps getting bigger, leading me to believe it will be popping out sooner or later!
What I miss: being able to bend without compressing internal organs ;)
What I am looking forward to: Finishing the nursery, baby shower and meeting the little guy!
Weekly Wisdom:
Try to enjoy pregnancy, it doesn't really last that long and most of it goes by in a blur!
Milestones: Visiting the OB every 2 weeks! Yikes, it is getting closer and closer! Can't wait to hold my baby boy!

In other exciting news we were able to schedule a bunch of work to be completed on the house before the baby comes! We will be finishing our basement, getting new flooring in the kitchen, staining the woodwork we stripped in the kitchen and having several rooms painted! I can't wait this will really take some stress off and help to make the house more liveable when the baby arrives!!

24 Weeks! Even bigger now!

I think I'm about 14 weeks here! My how I have grown!
I am feeling HUGE these days! I am normally a very teeny tiny girl, weighing in at 100 pounds never really tipping the scales at more than 105 so to be weighing in at approximately 120 pounds is really taking a toll on my body, though I am hoping for some of that extra to stick around after I give birth!
