Week 29...

Your Size: According to average weekly estimates you should be the size of an Acorn Squash… though since you are measuring 2 weeks bigger (even though the measurements are not scientific at all!) there is a chance you may be closer in size to Pineapple!

Your Due Date: November 12^th… only 10 weeks left- and only 8 till we are considered full term!

 

Maternity/ Baby clothes? I got all my hospital gear all set! Well at least ordered and ready to pack at least… I bought a gown for the birth, a couple of nursing nightgowns for the hospital stay and some nursing tops & sweaters… it feels so weird to have gone from buying maternity clothes, to buying baby clothes and now to buying nursing clothes! You are almost here.

 

Nursery: We got your dresser- and it’s awesome!!! You have a very pirate themed room now… And a very very organized on at that!

 

 

 

Baby Gear: It’s amazing how much stuff a little guy can accumulate in such a short period of time! But I’m loving buying all the baby gear. And your shower gifts have started to arrive…

 

 

Sleep: I think I may be done sleeping for the rest of this pregnancy.

 

This week’s adventure:  Last weekend was a busy weekend for us. Friday was the 5 year anniversary of your Dad and my first date! And even though we are married, and our dating anniversary isn’t really something, I still like to celebrate our first date- plus 5 years is a big one! We went to a new restaurant in Hermosa Beach- Hook & Plow…

 

I think your Dad’s sandwich was bigger than you!

Happy but exhausted after our Date Night!

The rest of the weekend was kind of a blur of activities. We made sure the house was all ready for your Shower! So we finished furniture, organized, planted flowers and basically ran ourselves to the bone making sure the house was perfect… and I have to say it is!!!!

 

Though the weekend wasn’t all work- we did make time to go meet up with friends for the 1^st Notre Dame Game of the season!

 

 

 Miss anything? People not commenting on my weight! There is something about when a woman is pregnant where everyone thinks it’s necessary to tell them just how big they are… so far this week I’ve gotten:

-          Are you sure you aren’t due this month?

-          You look like you are going to explode!

-          Wow you are so big now!

-          Look at that Belly!

-          You look so “Healthy

 

Movement:  I think you are playing a lot of soccer matches lately- because you are so active! But not gonna lie, I love our 3am times together- I can’t sleep and you are usually moving around like crazy at that time so it’s so nice having someone up with me to keep me company.

 

Your favorite foods: You love anything with Chocolate- you kick as soon as I have it!

 

Anything making you queasy or sick:  Doing good this week!

 

Gender: Boy

 

Labor signs: Nope… Braxton Hicks getting stronger but that’s it.

 

Symptoms: Pure exhaustion!

 

Belly button in or out?  Button in, but belly way out!

 

Wedding rings on or off? Still on and going strong

 

Happy or moody most of the time: A little of both but mostly really grumpy due to lack of sleep.

 

Looking forward to: The shower this weekend!

 

Advice to my soon-to-be baby: When you are trying something new don’t give up on it even if it seems impossible or seemingly failing at it. Over the last few weeks your Dad and I have been trying to refurnish a desk. This is the first time we’ve tried something this big. And at first it seemed like it was going to be a big failure and that is after we have spent a lot of time on it… But now a few weeks later we are almost done with it and it looks even more amazing than I imagined it would!
