Baby #2 - Week 29


How far along: 29 weeks
Total weight gain so far: 20 lbs...5 lbs less than last pregnancy at this point! Woohoo
Baby Size: A Butternut Squash, about 15", around 2.5 lbs.
The Bump: It's there and growing!
Maternity clothes: Nope.
Stretch marks: Nothing new.
How's sleep: I must say, it's stilllll decent! Although I'm thinking of maybe changing out the mattress soon to our firmer one, because I think my back is hurting more because of the soft, squishy bed we are on now.
Miss anything: Nothing really, but if I had to pick something, I would say maybe fitting into regular clothes, just because sometimes I see things that I wish I could wear right now, but can't...but not a big deal because in time I'll be there again. And I'm in a situation where it's a pretty darn good reason I can't wear those clothes, haha
Food cravings: Nothing.
Anything making you queasy or sick? Nope.
Gender? Still a Girl!! lol
Belly button in or out? Still in..but getting close to popping!
Wedding rings on or off? Still on! Yahoo
Happy or moody most of the time? Happy, happy!
Labor signs? Nope!
Best moment this week? Had a great doctors appointment the other day! Everything looks great. I'm measuring right at 28-29 weeks, which is just on time. Last time at this point I was measuring 2 weeks ahead! So perhaps this baby will be smaller than Jayla was! We shall see. Heartbeat sounded good! Everything is great!
Looking forward to: Registering!!! Oh, and still coming up with a name :-)

Best moment this week? Vacation! It was so great to see our family in Czech and have, especially, Grandpa meet Trey and Jayla. He loved hanging out with them! It was so fun to be able to show my husband and 1st daughter where I come from and share some experiences and things that I could never just explain and show them at home. It was a really good time. Traveling with the baby bump went surprisingly smooth, and I'm so thankful for that! The 9.5 hour plane ride was actually decent..besides Jayla occasionally trying to climb my belly!
Looking forward to: Getting registered after vacation...aaand coming up with a name! Nope, still nothing!
