Week 29 ~ Baby Acorn Squash!

How far along? 29 weeks, only one week left in the 20's!

Maternity clothes? Yup! I'm also getting more creative with my non-maternity clothes ;-)

Stretch marks? Miraculously, not yet!

Sleep: I'm sleeping great! Actually my sleep is even better than before the third trimester... but my dreams are getting crazier! 

Best moment this week: Finally figuring out that the rhythmic twitching is actually baby hiccuping! Oh and having AC installed in my office was EUPHORIC after days of working in 80-degree smoky air!

Movement: Baby was active in the middle of the day a few times this week! Either that's new, or he's big enough for me to notice! Oh and he's bringing new meaning to belly-dancing - so fun and mesmerizing, I could watch it all day!

Food cravings: I've actually slowed way down on ice-cream and this week I've craved fresh fruit and veggies. Thank goodness because I have been putting away serious amounts of food and I feel better knowing that it's at least healthy!

Anything making you queasy or sick: My heartburn only flared up a few times this week- so thankful for that! I had some minor sciatic pain one day, but that quickly subsided. 

Labor signs: No.

Symptoms: My energy has been pretty average, but my motivation has been a bit low- unless you count organizing - in that case I have an abundance of energy and motivation! When I'm done with what I'm going to call a "nesting surge" my feet hurt so bad from running around doing so much. 

Belly button in or out? In still... I'm starting to think it won't ever pop out- I might end up with one of those cool flat starfish-looking bellybuttons :-D

Wedding rings on or off? On, still!

Happy or moody most of the time: My mood has been good, but it has been a rough week with bad news... a friend lost her precious baby girl who was due to arrive just one month after our son. This news cuts so deep anytime, but being pregnant the empathetic feelings of sadness and devastation are overwhelming. 
Looking forward to: More nesting! I have three 3-day weekends coming up and I plan to organize and clean everything in my house! A friend has already called dibs when I'm done with my house I'm to go directly to her house :-P Man, wish I could bottle this stuff up and save some for the future!
