Week 29

And here we are in the last week of the 20's! So excited! It really is going to end in a few more months. And it will never happen again, so YIPPEEE! It's been another good week. I've still been chugging along without too many bumps, which I am VERY thankful for! I keep seeing Oshea barely able to walk because of her Pelvis thing and I am SOOOO glad that I have not been facing major pain, every. day. It helps me be able to be thankful and patient .

Week : 29 

What I love: I love being closer to January. It's Thanksgiving and then Christmas and then New Years and then we're there! Hallelujah! I love the baby moving, though not really in the middle of the night. But at least I know she's healthy. I love being able to sleep. It's really going to be sad when sleep falls by the wayside. I will survive, but I won't enjoy the not sleeping part.  

What I hate: Not being able to bend over. So irritating! All the little aches and pains that come up because of pregnancy. Being tired. Maternity clothes...... specifically maternity jeans. STUPID!

What I miss: Jeans! My body. I do. I miss it. Oh for it to be back again. But alas, many moons and much sweat and labor are before me before that happens. 

What I’m looking forward to the most: My clothes. Getting NEW clothes, exercising for visible results instead of faith that it really is doing me good. My baby, getting Jackson into a new room. All these things and many more. OH getting my ring. That's going to be super fun!

Sleep: Good. I usually have been sleeping great. I did have a night or two of having a hard time falling back asleep, but that kinda comes with the territory. 


Bra Size: C I feel so large. I hate big boobs. I am looking forward to the shrinkage. It will be such a relief!

Wedding rings on or off: Off. BUT I did try it on a couple of days ago and it fits! I don't want to leave it on, because my hands randomly swell, but It does still fit. 

Weight: 167!   Weight Gain: 24lbs - I didn't gain 2 lbs this week! Hurrah! I think the cutting the sugar out is helping!

Worries: None that I care to recall at this time. Who needs worries? 

Developments: Nothing significant. Everything continues the same, though of course I am growing more and more. I am pretty sure my butt is getting bigger by the day, but that's what happens when you have a giant belly. 

Things of Interest: 

Tommy Miller told me that I was really rocking the "knocked up" look. I laughed and told him it was coming to an end. My parents are here for a visit and that is nice to have them around here and for the kids to get to see them. The kids have been very friendly to them, which makes me happy. I am really glad my mom is going to come up two weeks after I have the baby. That way, I'll have help when I really need it and don't have to worry so much about the exhaustion that I'll be under by that time. 

Mood: Good. I am up and optimistic and not completely sick of being pregnant. Well, I am but I am not to the point of weeping about the 11 weeks left. Which is good. I am trying to just put patience on like a garment and not worry about the future.  

Movement:  Still rolling around like an acrobat. She is still in a funky position as far as I can tell, and I am a bit worried about that. I have been working on her to get her at least head down, but I'm not convinced it's done anything yet. 

The belly (and the button!): It looks like a pregnant belly. For real. Weird I know. 

Measurements: Chest:  Waist:   Midsection:  Hips:  Thighs: 

Exercise: Doing well. I will probably finish off the week at 5 times, though I'm not sure about today (Saturday). But I forced myself to get off my A*& and do something yesterday, even though I really didn't want too. I always feel better when I do and so I make myself do it. I still can, so I still will. Nope. I didn't exercise on Saturday. :)

Eating: Very good. I stayed off sugar all week (other then a spoonful in my tea once a day.) and I think it's helping stave off the major weight gain. At least that is the hope. Keep in check girl, keep it in check!

The weekly pics: 

Anus: It's common to get hemorrhoids during pregnancy. These swollen blood vessels in your rectal area should clear up a few weeks after delivery.

Bone: Your baby's skeleton -- which is now hardening -- receives about 200 milligrams of calcium a day.

Head: Your baby's head is growing bigger to accommodate his brain, which is busy developing billions of neurons.

Uterus: You may feel dizzy if you lie on your back now. That's because your growing uterus puts pressure on the veins that return blood from your lower half to your heart.
