29 weeks.


In 8 weeks, I'll be full-term. My baby man will be done cooking and could technically come out any time. But I have 11 weeks until my due date, which is insane. Today at our appointment, we discusses the birth a little bit. As long as I'm at least 37 weeks, I call when my water breaks (unless it's night, then I call in the morning) or I call after contractions that are 1 minute in length, 3-4 minutes apart for 2 hours straight. They asked who would be in the delivery room, which will be Erik, of course, and Julia to take photos. My appointments now are every 2 weeks and they are ultrasounds. I can't wait to see him, it's been forever! I really need to schedule my 3D ultrasound. That's about it!


How far along? 29 weeks

Total weight gain: 19 lbs - this third trimester ain't playing.

Stretch marks? Yes, they've become very apparent on my belly as of recently. In fact, my midwife lifts my shirt to see the marks and looked pretty surprised. I'm not huge, so it's kind of strange, but my skin is just stretch mark prone. Yes, before another person tells me to put on lotion, I do, everyday. I'm okay with my stretch marks, even if they bring me down sometimes. I'm making a human; I'm creating my son, which is worth it.

Sleep? I'm always tossing and turning and if I wake up in the middle of the night, I'm up for good. I have a feeling it's going to get harder.

Best moment this week: my appointment today :)

Miss Anything? Fitting into clothes. I was trying on coats today and my belly said, "nope".

Movement: All the time. I'm not sure he sleeps anymore, but I'm not complaining. I love his little pokes. I don't, however, love when he jabs me in what feels like an organ.

Food craving: Pizza products. Cheese. Milk. 

Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope!

Labor Signs: Nope.

Symptoms: the normal aches. Still no heartburn, headaches or other lame symptoms. Although, I am ALWAYS hungry.

Belly Button in or out? Barely in.

Looking forward to: my ultrasound in 2 weeks and my baby shower the day after :)

Our Baby in Veggie/Fruit/Food Term? Idk, all my apps are different, but he's getting big :)
