Week 29

This is a really bad picture I took of myself in our oddly-lit bathroom, but you get the idea.

Pregnancy Highlights:

How Far Along: 29 weeks

Size of Baby: About 15” and about 2 ½ lbs. Around the size of a butternut squash.

Total Weight Gain/Loss: + ½ lb.

Maternity Clothes: I’m wearing mostly maternity jeans or other forgiving pants. I’m still wearing regular tops.

Gender: It’s a girl!! Avery Grace.

Movement: She’s more active in the morning and in the evenings, but she’s pretty laid back I think, not that I have anything to compare her to.

Food Cravings: I’m trying to cut back on sugars, but I’m still craving Dr. Pepper and sweet tea.

What I Miss: I don’t miss anything.

Sleep: I’m still sleeping great.

Symptoms: Just heartburn.

Best Moment This Week: We got to surprise our families by revealing that we’re having a girl. I made cupcakes with pink icing in the middle, and everyone bit into a cupcake at the same time. Sunny nearly choked trying to eat cupcake and yell, “I told you so!” at the same time. Also, I went to a consignment sale yesterday with mom and got some cute clothes for not much money.

What I Am Looking Forward To: For now, I’m looking forward to getting to relax. We had a busy weekend, and I went back to Benton on Monday for the consignment sale then back to Mena today. I’m ready for a break.
