29 Weeks

Best moment this week:  My appointment with my midwife.  It was a great appointment and she was really reassuring about everything I was concerned about (bad nurses, birthing tools available at the hospital, etc).  I was measuring right on target with where I should be at this point too which was great to hear! 

Sleep:  I've been sleeping so great with the new pregnancy pillow.  I should've invested in it sooner!      

Movement:  Baby's movements seem stronger now, which is very exciting.  It's crazy too to see my belly move at random times.  I was waiting at the doctor's office with my purse on my lap touching my belly and my purse moved from baby's movement!      

Food cravings:  I know it's not food per se, but I've been craving water with ice.  It could just be my body's way of making sure I'm staying hydrated in the recent warm weather we've been having.

Gender:  Unknown

What I miss:  Wearing my wedding band.  Now that I'm starting to swell some, I figured it was safer to leave off than to get it stuck on my finger.  

What I am looking forward to:  Getting a lot done this week around the house.  I'm trying to go through everything and get rid of things we don't use much or need.  I'm mostly just going through my stuff and will let Russ go through his when he gets home.  It'll probably be time for a garage sale not long after Russ gets back.  

Milestones:  Baby is able to expand their lungs and take in amniotic fluid, building up the muscles he/she will need when it comes time to breathe air.   

Baby Size:  butternut squash   

Weekly Wisdom:  Try to buy things for baby that are multi-functional....like burp cloths that double as bibs (see below).

These burp cloths/bibs are from Aden + Anais....hooray for double duty!
