Weeks 27, 28, and 29


Sorry no picture yet...

How Far Along: 29.5 weeks

Total Weight Gain: Holding steady at 20lbs. I see doctor on Monday so we shall see. 

Gender: Girl!

Movement: Sometimes she moves so much it makes me feel sick, especially if I have eaten a lot of food. Last night the party was hopping so much I had to drink some cold water to cool her down so I could get back to sleep. They are getting stronger and stronger every day.

Food Craving: Do tomatoes count as a food craving since I regularly crave them all the time?

Favorite moments: We settled on names, then I found one that was thrown into the mix, now we are back to our original name and struggling with the middle name. I had my first delivery dream last week... I went in for a regular appointment and my doctor cut about a 2inch hole in my stomach and took baby girl away. Scott came in the room later and I asked him how she looked and what she looked like. He gave her the name I was leaning more toward, (but now is not in the running), and I went back to work. People asked me to pick up some things and I told them I just had surgery and showed them my two stitches. Crazy.

Sleep: Is there such a thing as sleeping through the night anymore? Probably not for the rest of my life. I toss and turn more than a stir fry is tossed and turned...

What I am looking forward to: Scott's birthday, possibly going up north, and showers. Time is starting to run out and I am getting a bit nervous...

25 & 26 Weeks


Where mommy and baby girl have spent most of their time together, The Gym.


How Far Along: 26 weeks

Total Weight Gain: I see the doctor on Thursday, I will then know what the grand number is. 

Gender: Girl!

Movement: She has a dance party every night as we lay down to go to sleep. We can see her visibly move. We first saw the movement at 23 weeks but I kept forgetting to blog about it.

Food Craving: I made lettuce soup over the weekend, it tasted so good. I have decided that I need to keep some on hand just to have. I also enjoy the DQ mini blizzards. They are just the right size to give you a taste but not too much.

Favorite moments: We have settled on a names. We have two separate first and middle names. We are going to wait until she arrives to give her the name that fits her best. 

Sleep: Can I get another pillow? I am now sleeping with a body pillow to hug and put between the legs. Another one to also hug, and two to put under my head. I also have one on standby just in case... My back doesn't hurt when I have the two under my head, but I did sleep on my neck weird and it made it so painful to move this weekend. Thanksgiving weekend was a blur. We were up in Green Bay on Thursday, hit the black Friday deals Thursday night to get out TV, Friday we ran some errands, and I hung out with Stephanie and Noelle. Saturday I had a KC's bridal shower and Bachelorette party, while Scott hung out with my family at Country Springs Hotel, then on Sunday we were in Baraboo for the final Thanksgiving. It was exhausting...

What I am looking forward to: Christmas.
