Week 29 Update!!

Apparently if you spray Bumble and Bumble finishing spray on wet hair in the morning it makes your hair look a lot darker in pictures. Vic was like "did you dye your hair?!?" Of course, that was after he giggled for a while at how huge my belly seems to have gotten over the last week!

How far along? 29 Weeks

Total weight gain: 20 pounds

Maternity clothes? Oh yea. 

Stretch marks? Nope, still none yet!

Best moment this week: Vic put together our chair for the baby’s room which was pretty exciting, minus the art work for the walls the room is pretty much done! Getting the Armada was pretty exciting, I’ve never bought a car before! I really can’t wait to see the car seat and my little boy in the back seat! 

Miss Anything? Wine, like always. Getting out of bed or out of a chair is starting to be a real production, so I’m starting to miss when that was not an issue!

Movement: All day! He’s a very rumbly baby in my belly.

Food cravings: Ice cream like a boss, and chocolate. My boss always has a bowl of mini chocolates at her desk and lately it’s been super hard to not stake out her office and steal the whole bowl while she’s out of the office.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Eating too much at one time, if I get anywhere near feeling full there’s a chance that food won’t stay down once he gets moving

Gender: He better still be a boy, he has a ton of clothes!

Labor Signs: Nope, but the normal round ligament pains are around more often. I tried getting out to my car today to relax for a bit and I had to stop a few times along the way to just take deep breaths and get through the cramps.

Symptoms: All the usuals, heartburn, RLP, but surprisingly I feel like I haven’t had any Braxton Hicks lately. This might be tmi, but I feel like no one warns women about feeling like they got kicked in the vag. Been rockin’ that symptom all day every day for a bit. I’m pretty sure the workouts might actually make it worse, but everyone I’ve asked about that feeling says its just all the fun stuff preparing for the big day or the same muscles just stretching from the weight of the baby. It blows. 

Belly Button in or out? Still technically in, but probably not for long.

Wedding rings on or off? Still on. I’ve got pretty thin fingers, finding a ring my size is usually kinda rough. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Oh you know, just a bit of both, haha. I’ve always kind of had a short fuse, lately I feel like it just might be a bit shorter. The good news is, I haven’t like, lost my mind yet. I’m sure those around me might see it differently but I swear I’m actually really happy! I just can’t wait to see our little man. And of course I’m head over heels with the car. Vic and I are talking about maybe doing a little baby moon at this resort up by Williamsburg so that would be pretty fun :)

Looking forward to: My appointment on Thursday. I always like to go and just hear that everything is going right. I also can’t wait to get the pictures from John Gwolden’s Etsy shop that I ordered for the baby’s room.
