Week 29

Last week was fun with making my last visit (unless I can con my husband into going some weekend) to my parents before this little girl shows her face.

I got to see a friend who had moved across country, but recently moved back along with her 2 girls. We took the kids to Jump Zone (a bounce house place). It took an hour before we were able to get Madison into a bounce house without freaking out & then we couldn't get her out of them!

Madison & I made a trip up to WI to see my bff & her family to exchange Christmas presents for the kids as her son was sick over our Christmas trip! Of course I forgot to bring the presents! Stupid pregnancy brain, but I did ship them to her. They should be arriving today. It was nice to be able to see her, her son, & her parents. They are family to me as we have known each other from 22 + years!

Obviously we spent time with my parents too. Not as much as we would normally as they are doing a lot of work on their house in preparation to sell it.

As excited as I am about this new baby girl, I am also sad that I will more than likely not see a lot of my friends & family until after this little one is born since they are 4 hours away.

How far along? 28 weeks 4 day

Total weight gain: 16 lbs

Maternity clothes? Yes, since about 7 weeks

Stretch marks? On the stomach

Linea Nigra:  Still Not yet (never had one with Madison, so...)

Sleep: Not much. Insomnia is back.

Times you Potty a Night: 2 + times a night

Best moment of the week: Having Madison behave so well that we got to watch a movie before bedtime & snuggle! Also, putting together my double stroller!

Miss anything?  Not really

Movement: Yes, I'm getting kicked & punched daily. Hubby is finally able to feel the movement of this baby girl & now pokes & prods at her when she does kick him.

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Not at all.

Cravings: Mexican Food!

Gender prediction:  Doesn't matter anymore because its a girl
Gender: GIRL

Labor signs:  No. Just some Braxton Hicks every now & again

Symptoms:  The bump in front, some sore boobs, & pregnancy insomnia & being uncomfortable

Aches & Pains:  A sore lower back from carrying the bump & a sciatic nerve pain

Belly button in or out? In (never popped out with Madison, so I'm curious if it will stay that way)

Wedding rings on or off? Had to remove them yesterday. They were way too tight. I'm so sad!

Happy or moody most of the time? Uncomfortable & more moody than happy lately (might have something to do with a toddler acting out)

Looking forward to: Finishing off all the things that need to be done before she gets here. Oh & my massage, pedicure & manicure, but those aren't until the end of March!
