29 week update...

Weeks 29 to 32, month 7: Squash. Average size — 38.6 to 42.4 cm / 1153 to 1702 grams. Baby’s energy is surging, thanks to the formation of white fat deposits beneath the skin. (Have those kicks and jabs to the ribs tipped you off yet?) Baby is also settling into sleep and waking cycles, though — as you’ve also probably noticed — they don’t necessarily coincide with your own. Also this month, all five senses are finally functional, and the brain and nervous system are going through major developments.

Third trimester! Month 7! And we have upgraded to a squash! I know I say this all the time, but I can't believe how fast time is flying.

The baby moves all the time. ALL the time. I seriously doubt that it sleeps sometimes! I can get Mike to feel it move nearly all the time, to the point that it is "old" news! It's still exciting to me though. But it kicks so hard and rolls around so much still that it takes my breath away.. literally!

I haven't gone for my 3 hour GD test, as I got sick with another cold. Saturday morning. Gotta just get it done. I am also going to ask for another ultrasound, find out how the baby is growing. More for peace of mind that anything, with the last couple scares I had. At this point I could care less about the gender — neutral nursery is already underway!

What else is new.. not much. I feel good, trying to keep the weight off as much as possible. Glad that the holidays are over and can get back to my walks and such. I think I did too much yesterday though and I was extra tired and sore. My feet were starting to swell, the first time this pregnancy, so I knew it was a sign to slow down. Have a shower, read and go to bed. That helped.. feel much better today!
