29 Weeks!

This last week was a bit crazy. We finally were able to move to our own place, a townhouse. It was harder to me because it was just a few miles down the road so we just kind of moved everything over in bursts. I'm more of a "let's knock it all out as fast as we can" person. Whereas Bryce thought it was the easiest move because we DIDNT have to do that. But since I'm pregnant and can't do too much heavy lifting, we went with Bryce's thought process lol. Anyways we got it all done by Saturday and have spent the last few days unpacking! :) 

Another thing going on is my work life. I had to cut back one of my days at work, and it was happening all as we had just signed a contract for a new townhouse that we now would be barely able to afford. Well we prayed, and the next few days I was offered to sub a few days at my other office. It was a relief. That week I transferred money over to my tithing fund. And then I got a text from another hygienist at my second office asking if I wanted to start working her Wednesdays until maternity leave. It was a big relief. Things would still be tight while my other job had been cut back for a bit, but we could make it. Then I paid my tithing again. The next day I got offered more days to sub for someone at my first job. Other people call it a coincidence. But Bryce and I had faith in the Lord, faith that it would all work out, and I know that's where these extra hours are coming from. I feel so beyond blessed and grateful to Him. Just thought I would share that story! On with the bump date!! 

How far along:

29 weeks, 11 weeks left! Wowza!

Size of baby:
A Hawaiian Pineapple! About 3 pounds :) or 17 inches! Woo! Though we all know she's probably way smaller. Still exciting haha.

Total Weight Gain:
On Sunday it was about 12 or 13 pounds. I have 11 weeks left and I'm sure I'll be packing them on as she gains more weight too! 

Stretch Marks:  

Some small ones on my side, I've been bad about putting on oil and lotion so I'm pretty sure that's not helping haha

Maternity Clothes:
I mean clearly I'm still in them haha. 

Gender:
We are getting the nursery more ready since we just moved in and all her clothes are basically pink and then a few gray with pink lol. Oops.

Movement:   

She is moving so much! Apparently now it's supposed to slow down a bit. It's just fun to play with her! She will push up against my belly and I will follow her foot around and she will try and escape my hand. And this morning I caught a video of her moving all across my belly. It only captured a bit but I will post it!!

Belly Button in or out?:
Still way in. It's slowly getting shallower. Last night I had a dream it stuck out two inches and had a hole through it. I was terrified hahaha

Sleep:
Still sleeping! Just using the bathroom more frequently. I think the biggest thing that keeps me waking up is I try to not have my arms bent when I sleep and change sides often so my hands and wrists don't have problems the next day at work.

What I miss:

I can't think of anything specific which is a good sign!!

Food Cravings:
My closer friends know that I am more of a salty eater and that I don't like straight chocolate or anything way rich, but I have been craving sweet things a lot more lately. Like fruit snacks, Rice Krispie treats, peanut m&ms (still not straight chocolate haha)


Food Aversions:  

Not really anything!

Nausea:
None! Like I don't have to eat every two hours or anything, I just get normal hungry/nauseous when it's time for dinner and such and I haven't eaten much for the day. 

Moody/Happy?
I am very happy! There is so much to be happy about :) 

Wedding ring on our off?

It's on :) still not getting any swelling. I'm sure as it gets later and I keep eating salty things that I'll swell up a ton. 

Symptoms: 

Just lots of kicking and those pesky stretch marks. Oh my gosh. Charley horses. I got 13 in the span of 10 minutes the other night. I've had charley horses but rarely more than one, and these would come one after the other. I was dying. I was used to them because of dancing and I would get them a lot, but seriously 13?

What I’m looking forward to:

Chelsey's baby shower is this week so I get to go down to Utah! Hoping my friend Kirsta has her baby while I'm down there! Then we have our 3 year wedding anniversary on March 3 :) 

Name:

Something tells me that you guys will be seeing it on here in the next couple of weeks. We call her by her name all the time, we refer to her room as "blanks room" so it's really sticking. Like I said it could change if she doesn't look like her name but we can just update you then haha. 

29 weeks video:

You see the most towards the end :)
