29 Weeks...


My view sitting down

I'm 29 weeks!

Pregnancy Highlights:
How Far Along: 29 Weeks
Size of baby: Hallie is a little over 15 inches long—about the length of a loaf of bread—and weighs about 3 pounds, as much as a Macbook Air laptop. (I loved the comparison to a laptop.)
Total Weight Gain/Loss: Gained 18 lbs
Maternity Clothes: I wear almost everything maternity. I have about 7 outfits I rotate out of. I did fit into an Under Armor hoodie today that I got for Christmas. It was super comfy.
Gender: It's a girl!!! Hallie Kate
Movement: She is VERY active - especially in area of my rib cages.
Sleep: I'm sleeping pretty good- just need lots of it!
What I miss: Nothing major.. the whole how much weight have I gained thing is a bit different for me since I've never dealt with it before. My weight isn't an issue though, and I'd like to keep it that way until my pregnancy is over. I don't want to take advantage of it being okay to gain weight.
Cravings: Cheesecake of any sort
Symptoms: Today I had extreme cramps for about 3 hours. It scared me to death. We discovered I have a mild case of a stomach bug, and I was told to get plenty of rest. Also, I have to drink tons of fluids- even if I can't keep them down. (Doctors exact words.)
Best Moment this week: Her heartbeat was 158 at the doctor today! Scheduling her baby showers. (March 12th in Oneonta and March 27th at Roebuck) Also, the comical comments you get. I was told by an older lady that I am only at the beginning of my pregnancy. I wasn't sure how to respond. I simply smiled and thought, "29 better be MUCH closer to 40 than 0."
