Better Late, Than Never? 29 Weeks....

I'm awful at blogging, so I never committed to do weekly updates on my pregnancy. However, today I found a really easy format to follow, that I can most certainly (try to) commit to for the next 10 weeks or so.

Here we go! I'm 29 week and 2 days pregnant.

Weekly Update:

Brody is the size of a Butternut Squash















Milestone: I am one week into my 3rd Trimester. 76 days to go! I also passed my glucose test. Hooray!

Feeling: I'm feeling remarkably good. Although I'm probably supposed to feel good. Last week was tough, with classing being back in session. I was on my feet a lot, which caused some swelling in my hands and feet at the end of the day. The heat in the middle of the week probably contributed to it as well.

Movement: Tons! He's always the most active in the evenings, but I have been feeling him more and more during the day, especially in the morning and mid afternoon. He's upside down now, so I often feel his little feet going to town up near the top of my belly. I'm always feeling him moving around in the middle of the night if I get up to go to the bathroom. Not sure who's waking up who.

Wishing for: (consistent) fall weather. We've been so lucky with mild temps, but I'm actually looking forward to when the high temps are in the 60s!
Looking Forward To: Katie coming in Thursday! Lots of fun girl time ahead!

Reading: Same as always, babycenter updates, Your Pregnancy, Week By Week and Mayo Clinic Guide to A Healthy Pregnancy. Joe is still reading Happiest Baby on The Block.

Favorite clothes right now: Jeans with a tank top and cardigan/sweater. I'm so over summer dresses.

Current Project: Still collecting stuff for the nursery. Joe and I went to look at paint colors yesterday, so we just need to decide on one and go get it. I think we're going to go with the Benjamin Moore, no VOC version. The crib is in the garage, waiting to be assembled, as is the book rack my mom bought us.
Current Food Cravings: Anything sweet. Oh and burritos...of course. :)

Stretch marks: None yet...I look everyday. I know they're inevitable. I just hope they can hold off long enough for Cari to get some shots of this big 'ol belly when she visits in 3 weeks.
