Week 29

Wow 29 weeks.... Almost at the big 3-0!

How far along?
29 weeks and 5 days pregnant!

How big is the baby? (info for weeks 29-32) 
Baby is now the size of a Winter Squash (That's PUMPKIN to us UK folk!) Ahhhh

Weight approx: 2.5-3.8lb

Length (Crown to Heel): 38-42cm

Maternity Clothes?
Feel I should skip this question.... same old same old!

Sleep?

Another stressful week at work was had. So glad it is over. Found myself having to nap after work and go to bed very early. Again found it hard to settle, hard to get up and toilet trips are on the increase.

Best moment this week?

Had some lovely news from a friend that she is also expecting so my baby will have a playmate! Woo! That was awesome news :-)
Also had a fab catch up with my pregnachum who is ever so close to giving birth now! It was really amazing to see her one last time before the arrival of her little one and although the time I had with her was short it really cheered me up! 

Symptoms?

Much the same as last week, the fact that my ankles swell so much by the end of the week is not very nice. Next week I will do my best to reduce this from happening, try and sit down more, drink more and look after myself better. I really do have a baby in there and I do keep forgetting this or making myself think I can still run about like I did before. Peeing is definitely getting more frequent. No denying that!

Food Cravings/Aversions?

Fallen off the wagon again. I blame the stress of the work combined with sheer laziness and the need to eat yummy things. Really do need to get a hold of it as I'm told this is the time I will gain a lot of weight. After already being told I may need to see the consultant if my weight gets my BMI above 35 I need to be even more mindful but the more I think about it the crazier I get.

Gender?

I am feeling boy this week.

Belly button in or out?
Of course, belly button still in.

What I miss?

Sleeping through the night!

What I'm looking forward to?

1) Easter
2) Baby Shower
3) MATERNITY LEAVE!

Milestones? 
30 weeks! - IT's coming in a few days!!!

Bump?
Bump is getting harder! That's all I have to say about that!
