Week 29 bump shot
(hilarious to me that my belly button cast its own shadow now)
How far along? 29 weeks
Measuring at? 32 weeks
Food cravings/aversions: I have been craving a blt. Which is funny because the first have of this pregnancy I could not stand the smell of bacon. But now that is all baby girl wants.

Sleeping: About the same. Still have the leg cramps. And now her newest trick is jabbing her cute little feet in my rib cage while I try to sleep. I also keep waking myself up gasping for air because I roll to my back and lose my breath. I cant wait to sleep on my back again.
Milestones: She is getting more and more real hair and not just the peach fuss that covers her whole body. I'm hoping she comes out with the same, if not more, hair then her big brother.
Interesting things that happened this past week/anticdotes: It has been an interesting week for sure. Full of me being extra clumsy. The latest stunt happened today as I ran by starbucks before a grocery shopping trip and proceeded to spill half a bottle of water in my lap. It looked like I had peed myself or my water had broke. I was 20 minutes from home and LB was already getting fussy so there was no way I was driving back home to change and then get him back out. So I did what any pregnant mom of a toddler would do and just pushed on. I got quite a few looks in the store and I'm sure most of the people were thinking "did her water break or did she just pee herself?" And of course LB did not make the trip pleasant but instead drew more attention to us by screaming at the top of his lungs through the store. Mind you I was at Aldi's so not a big store by any means. Lesson learned; carry a pair of workout shorts in the car at all times in case one of these "emergencies" present themselves again.
Differences this time around: Definitely the rib jabs. I dont remember them happening as often with LB. Little miss loves making herself nice and cozy in my rib cage and of course LB likes making himself nice in cozy on top of my bump so I have about 1 inch of lung space to breath out of most of the day.
Update on the VBAC: Well looks like if little miss doesn't make her appearance by 37 weeks I may have to go ahead and schedule the c-section and just pray she appears on her own before the surgery. We (W, me, and my amazing doctor) are getting nervous that she may just get too big to be delivered naturally and we don't want to risk the chance of her getting stuck like LB did. I am praying she will decide to come early on her own so that we do not have to worry about any of this but we shall see. Funny thing is if she does come at 37 weeks she will be born a mere 1 day after LB celebrates his 2 year birthday. I am so glad it is in the Lord's hands and not my own. Oh how I pray this birth goes more smoothly and without as much scare for us all.
Her room is 95% complete!!! So excited to get some pictures this weekend and reveal it to you all. I am loving it!
Edit: Hubs informed me that the picture I posted yesterday makes me appear much larger than I really am something about how I angled myself instead of standing straight on. So here's a new self portrait style photo...what do u all think, any different?
I hope you are able to have a successful VBAC. The healing process was so much faster for me!
ReplyDeletePraying you get your VBAC! I wished i had tried with Charlie!

ReplyDeleteThose leg cramps are the worst. Your story about the wet pants is so funny. Hopefully the baby will come with no drama this time around! Was LB a very big baby, or did he just get stuck because of his position? I'm sure it will all be okay however it happens. At least you are more prepared this time.
ReplyDeleteWell if she is measuring so much ahead maybe you have a fighting chance of having her by Week 37! That would honestly be super awesome! It's awesome that all those symptoms just disappear once wonderful miss arrives!
ReplyDeleteAhhh! Your baby girl is coming just around the corner!! I'm so excited to meet her and see what you've done to the nursery. :)
