29 Weeks - Pregnancy #3

Each Sunday, I'd like to do a highlights post, including a picture, summarizing the differences in my pregnancy from week to week.  I totally "grabbed" this idea from Kelly.  I did this with my pregnancies with Hadley and with Jack, as well, and I still think it is a great way to jot down the things that I don't want to forget later on. 

Pregnancy Highlights:

How far along:  29 weeks - Third Trimester

Size of baby:  Baby Girl is 17 inches crown to feet and weighs as much as a small cabbage (about 2 1/2 pounds--the ultrasound technician said she weighed 2 lbs 5 oz at my appointment last Tuesday.)

Total weight gain/loss:  I have gained 19 pounds so far.

Maternity clothes:  I *heart* maternity clothes :)

Gender:  A very upside down baby girl :)  Hoping she'll make that big turn in the next few weeks!

Movement:  I think she's active.  I feel her mostly when I'm holding Jack before he goes to sleep and at night when I'm lying down.  I also feel her a lot during my NST's each week (non-stress tests).

Sleep:  It's broken up into three- and four-hour segments.

What I miss:  Sleeping on my back and sleeping through the night without waking up to make two or three trips to the bathroom

Cravings:  Sweets

Symptoms: Acid reflux before falling asleep; restless legs

Exercise: I walked with Jack almost every afternoon this week, and I did Pilates a couple of times.

Belly Button in or out: It's flat but pokey.  :(

Wedding ring on or off: On :)

Happy or moody most of the time: It's been a pretty good week!

Looking forward to:  Receiving the results from my glucose test sometime this week.

Best moment this week: Some much-needed good news and some big-time answered prayers.  We're hoping for even more this week.  I'm looking forward to sharing with you the big things God is doing in our lives very soon!
