29 Weeks

The end of this pregnancy is finally starting to feel like it isn't that far away when I think about all of the projects and preparation that needs to get done before Baby Girl arrives.  At the same time, it still feels like I have forever left to deal with this back pain and discomfort.  I officially feel huge and I can tell that Baby Girl is starting to run out of space because she doesn't seem to be able to stretch the way she used to.  That doesn't mean that she isn't still moving a ton though!  This is a very active little lady!

29 Weeks!

The last week was pretty good to us other than the heat that just won't go away.  I had a doctor's appointment where they did my gestational diabetes test (I passed!) and I had to get the rhogam shot since I am a negative blood type and J is a positive blood type.  I got to listen to Baby Girl's heartbeat and found out I'm still measuring right on for being 29 weeks.  I still really like my doctor and I am so grateful for the recommendation to use him.

We had Marine Corps friends who we met in California in town for the weekend and it was great to reconnect with them!  They moved to Tulsa about a month ago so it's great to have them only a few hours away!  G really enjoyed playing with their daughter Q and he has now started walking way more than he was before their visit so I think it was helpful for him to have another toddler (she is 7 months older than him) to watch.

I forgot to take many pictures but here are G and Q sharing a snack :)

I also finally got Baby Girl's crib blanket sewn and picked up a few more fun little outfits :)  I still have plenty to do but it was nice to get my first sewing project for her crossed off the list.  I also finally got the rug for the nursery ordered so I'm looking forward to getting that.

29 Week Update:

How far along: 29 Weeks

Gender: Girl

Baby is the size of a: cabbage

Maternity clothes: Yes.  I got a pair of maternity shorts this week that I am loving because of the heat here.

Stretch marks: None yet!

Belly button in or out: In.  It is getting pretty stretched out but it still doesn't look like it will pop soon.

Sleep: Sleep was pretty decent this week.  I sometimes wake up to go to the bathroom and I'm still having back pain that makes falling asleep difficult but I figured out a pillow arrangement that is at least helping with the back pain at night.

Best moment this week: Getting to spend some time catching up with friends and also finally getting the crib blanket sewn.

Worst moment this week: It was a pretty good week but dealing with the Oklahoma heat has been a pain.  I really want to spend more time outside with G but it's way too hot for me most of the day.

Miss anything: Wing Stop!

Movement: Baby Girl loves to tumble so I feel her all the time.

Cravings: Peaches, cheese fries, wings, Chick fil A lemonade

Symptoms: Braxton Hicks contractions, plenty of back pain, general soreness when I wake up.  I really am lucky that I haven't had to deal with anything worse.

Looking forward to: Going to Oklahoma City this weekend since J has to attend a "muster" where he lets the local reserve unit know who he is since he could technically still be called back into the Marine Corps at any point during the next two years.  G and I are going to tag along so that we can do some "city" shopping.
