The last week of the 20’s! This is when it really starts going fast for me!Baby’s size: About 16 inches long and somewhere close to 2.75 pounds!
Maternity clothes?: Yes, and I’m starting to feel like even some of my smaller maternity shirts are getting a little short.
Gender: Girl!
Symptoms: By the end of the day, my belly just feels tight and uncomfortable. I’ve been wearing my support belt for running, but I might have to start using it more regularly during the day as well.
Sleep: I’m so grateful for naps! I’m usually out like a light as soon as I lie down, and I sleep very soundly.
Movement: Wild and crazy! She also LOVES to push HARD with her heels as high up in my belly as she can. If I touch my stomach where her feet are, sometimes it even hurts a little. This girl has heels of steel or something.
Cravings: Chocolate-chip cookies and spinach in my salad every day.
What I miss: Nothing really!
Anything making you queasy or sick?: Cereal, Italian salad dressing, and Kaelyn’s coconut-flavored Greek yogurts.
Belly Button in or out?: Kind of flat…and if I lie down, it pokes out a little. So weird.
Exercising?: Ran 21.8 miles. I haven’t been walking much because we’ve had 100% humidity (or close to it) every single day, so after I run, I just really want to stay inside! Fitbit total: 77,050 steps.
Mood: I love this little girl with my whole heart, and I daydream every day about who she’ll look like and how it’ll feel to hold her for the first time. Honestly though, I am a little nervous for labor this time for some reason. I could write a whole post on this alone… but hopefully I can calm my fears and have another empowering birth. I just keep feeling stressed about it, and I’m not really sure why when I’ve already done this twice.
Best moment this week: Visiting the Allens in Ohio and going to the temple!
Looking forward to: Hopefully getting some rest this week and still accomplishing some of the projects on my to-do list.
Big sisters: Kaelyn will put her hand on my belly now and excitedly say “Mommy!!!” I’ll tell her that there’s a baby in there, and she usually smiles and nods her head. She also loves to use my stomach as a pillow, haha.
Comparison: 29 weeks with Kaya; 29 weeks with Kaelyn.
