| 29 Weeks |
How far along? 29 weeks, 4 days
Baby Size: A pineapple!
Total weight gain: 23ish lbs.
Maternity clothes? Oh yeah...
Stretch marks? Not that I can tell, but my belly is always kind of pink.
Sleep: I've been doing better! I do some laps around the house to hopefully 'rock' the baby to sleep and I've been sleeping well, but of course turning from side to side is tricky.
Best moment this week: Brayden said, 'Mom, I can't wait to meet Snickerson'
Miss Anything? I never want to complain about being pregnant, because I know how lucky I am that I've been given this opportunity to carry a baby, but I miss being quicker on my feet. I feel like everything is slow motion for me. Haha!
Movement: Yup!! He goes in spurts, he'll be a crazy man and then he'll settle down for a while.
Food cravings: Sweets!!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Eggs. haha! Remember how I've been craving them, well I'm over it now. haha!
Gender: BOY!
Symptoms: Besides being much slower, we found out at our 28 week appointment that I might have polyhydramnios - which means I have too much amniotic fluid. I had been telling Geoff that I just feel so much bigger than I did with Brayden and things are so much tighter, so I told the nurse that the other day and she reviewed the ultrasound and measured me (I was measuring about 5 weeks ahead) and she was like well that explains why you're feeling so much bigger. They like to see the amniotic fluid at about a 20 - and mine was at a 28. So I'm being referred to a perinatal specialist and they'll do an ultrasound next week to check my fluid levels and also check on baby as his kidneys were dilated. They just want to make sure he's swallowing properly and that this excess fluid isn't caused by something that's going on with him. So we're PRAYING that everything is okay and I can carry this baby to term as the biggest fear with poly is preterm labor because your body thinks baby is ready to go from the extra weight of the fluid.
Belly Button in or out? Still flat. haha!

Wedding rings on or off? On most of the time, off occasionally.
Mood: Anxious and a little worried. Just want to know my baby is okay!
Looking forward to: Seeing the sweet boy during the ultrasound and really getting his nursery wrapped up.
