Weekly Updates:
How far along: 29 weeks
Baby’s size: Butternut Squash – Your baby is as big as a butternut squash, weight wise — about 2.5 pounds. Length: a tad over 15 inches, head to heel.)
Sleep: I have been sweating like crazy the last few days. No matter what the temperature inside is, I wake up in a full on pile of sweat.
Maternity Clothes: Yep.
Food Cravings: I haven’t had any actual cravings again. Nothing seems to sound appealing, so I am finding it hard to eat even though I am hungry almost every 2 hours.
Food Aversions: Still no spicy.
Symptoms I have: (Maybe TMI for some) I have been having the sweating (see sleep), and I also got one of the pregnancy symptoms no one wants. With all of the packing to move and baby sitting low, I got hemorrhoids. *sigh* At least I caught it early on and it has mostly gone away with me relaxing on what I am doing and the fact that baby flipped. Now I just have to keep a really close eye on things for the rest of the pregnancy. Oh the joys they don’t always tell you about!
Doctor’s Appointment: We had our last appointment in Abilene this morning. We have to schedule an appointment at the birth center in Seattle once we get up there. We are hoping sometime in the next 3 weeks as that would be when our next doctors appointment would be here.
Movement: Very regular. The other day, Sprout felt like a little starfish with all the limbs all over the place. I wasn’t sure exactly was going on, but found out today that it most likely was when Sprout flipped from Breech to head down. So yay!
Belly Button: Level.
Gender: Team Yellow!
What I’m looking forward to: Tomorrow being over. It is our last really busy day as we are loading the truck tomorrow. Then we just finish the little stuff by Friday!
What I miss: Being comfortable when laying down. I can’t seem to get comfortable on one side or the other, so I am constantly flipping over. I think it drives Darrell a little batty! 😛
