29 Weeks

At 29 weeks, I have to say that things are going really well!  There are some movements that are getting a little harder as I continue to grow outward but other than that I have been feeling really good!  The Little Man seems to have decided to take up kickboxing this week as he is constantly moving and I feel jabs and kicks all day long.  It is fun to feel him so much more often! 

29 Week Bump

We started out the week with a hike at Torrey Pines with J's brothers G and P.  The weather was not ideal but we still had a good time.  It was super windy when we got there and I was worried I would be miserable the whole time but fortunately the wind died down and it got a lot more pleasant.  We are so spoiled here in Southern California with good weather all the time that 62 while cloudy and windy seems like a terrible weather day to us. 

P ready to catch me if I tumbled down the steep rocks

G and P were here until Tuesday and we really enjoyed their visit!  They decided to be the best house guests ever and they vacuumed and cleaned the bathroom before they left.  I would have been happy to do the cleaning but it was definitely a very pleasant surprise to find it already finished after they left!  I just wish we would have had better weather for their visit.
This weekend is back to beautiful sunny, warm weather.  We spent today at the beach soaking up the sun.  We figure we should take advantage of as many baby free beach days as possible before the Little Man takes over our lives :)  I felt  bit more self conscious than the last time we went to the beach because my bump has grown a ton but at least now it looks a lot more like a baby bump than a beer gut!

Beautiful beach day today!
