29 Weeks With Baby D #2

Pregnancy Highlights


How Far Along: 29 Weeks!
Total Weight Gain: 20 lbs. I didn't gain any weight in the last two weeks.  The dr. said my six pound gain the last couple of weeks is pretty common for this time and was probably from a large increase in blood volume.  I'm sure I'll keep creeping up two weeks from now:)
 Maternity Clothes: Yep, except for my yoga pants.  I hope they will make it the whole way.  I don't know what I'm going to do when it gets really hot out.  I don't have any maternity shorts and let me tell you...the few pairs I've tried on are hideously ugly and I just don't know if I can go there.
Best Moment this week:Starting to see my belly roll and wiggle from baby's stronger movements.  I'm continuing to feel his hiccups more frequently now.  

Gender: Little Boy!
 
Movement: Quite a bit on and off all day and mostly in the evenings.  Dan was able to feel him again the other night and he could tell the difference in how much stronger it was.
Food Craving: I am seriously craving all different kinds of veggies.  I wish it weren't true, but this is so unlike me normally.  Sweet potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, mushrooms, potatoes, red peppers.....I've had them all in the last week.  I just wish I craved them like this all of the time!

What I miss: I'm missing my last summer's tan, but that's not really amiss because of pregnancy, just the season.  I would like a couple of warm afternoons to hang out with Svea in our suits in the backyard. (Thank you privacy fence!) I have a mild farmer's tan going from last weekend.
Sleep: I'd like to thank Mr. Randy Jacklitch for my many nights of good sleep.  I have yet to not have good sleep between my bathroom trips.  Bathroom trips seem to be increasing some nights....getting ready for the real trial of late night feedings!
What we are looking forward to: Two weeks ago we looked forward to the end of a rummage sale.  Yeah, that didn't happen, but that's ok.  Dan is going to take a few days off here and there to get some projects done (aka:operation baby boy's room!) and we have some family day activities planned for the near future.  I also have 9 work days left before I am officially off for the summer!

Symptoms: Nothing crazy, just slowly growing bigger.  I can't believe I haven't had any heartburn this time around.  I am really lucky when it comes to pregnancy.  I feel good and am enjoying carrying our children around:)
