Week #29
Baby is size of: Acorn Squash-you tell me how the hell an eggplant (week 28) is smaller than an acorn squash?! I guess the density is heavier?Fun Fact- baby is only about 4 inches shorter than the length she'll be born at-she just has to fatten up for the next 11 weeks!
Weight this week:162.6
Change from last week:-.2
Total gain so far: 15.6-I haven't been gaining since I've been really watching my diet due to all this acid reflux. I found if I eat a lot of sugar one day, I pay for it the next day. So, I've really been eating pretty healthy.
Symptoms-Acid reflux, bloating, hemorrhoids, ears plugging up, Restless leg at night, cramping in legs Stiff in legs, baby kicking like crazy! Braxton hicks contractions-not every day, but I definitely feel them. It sounds like I have a lot of symptoms, but they're not that bad. Thankfully I'm still sleeping pretty well-only get up about 1-2x a night just to switch sleeping positions-I really miss sleeping on my tummy!
Cravings-still stuck on Peanut butter!
Exercise-None-I really need to do pre-natal yoga starting next week.
Baby Thoughts I think Dan has done more nesting than me! Our baby room is empty and ready to be painted-just need to pick a color, which I am leaning toward a peach, which it is right now!, new garage door, yard cleaned up (for now), little things that needed fixing around the house are fixed. I need to get on it! I think I will really get on it in November after my shower so I know what I'll have left to buy.
I also started kick counts this week. Basically, you pick a time of day where baby is most active and have to count 10 kicks in 2 hours so you know baby's trend and you could spot potential problems. This baby takes no longer than 5-9 minutes to get 10 kicks. She is an active one! I have to say, some days more active than others, but most days, I can spot her trend. Early morning, afternoon and evening and bedtime, she's raring to go! It's all so amazing to me and makes things so much more real! I'm trying to figure out which body part is what that is kicking/jabbing me. She was head down at last ultrasound and we want her to stay that way! At this point, she's getting into the birth position, if she switches, it will be hard to get her to flip and that would mean a C-section. It's not the end of the world, but I really want a natural birth.
