What’s new with the baby?<\/strong><\/div>\n
At week 29, baby is getting plumper. Begin to prepare yourself for the absolute cuteness you’ll soon experience every day! Right now, she measures about 15.2 to 16.7 inches long and weighs about 2.5 to 3.8 pounds. She still has a long way to go, and will be tripling her weight before birth!<\/div>\n

Food comparison this week is…\u00a0 (it’s an acorn squash…in case you weren’t sure.)

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
How am I feeling?<\/strong><\/div>\n
Blah.\u00a0 I’m sick right now.\u00a0 Allergies mostly, I think, but also I seem to have somehow contracted pinkeye.\u00a0 It’s kind of miserable.\u00a0 And combined with the whollop of allergies, I’m sort of a mess.\u00a0 Pregnancy-wise, I’m feeling fine, though.\u00a0 Just exhausted, which is always what happens when I have one of these bouts of allergy misery…and it feels even more concentrated since I’m also pregnant this time. I had my prenatal appt this morning – sort of 2 appts in one, really, since I had to stop in early for a fasting blood draw and then go back in 2 hours later for another blood draw after a ginormous breakfast of and egg, hash browns, toast and jam, a pancake with syrup, sausage and some OJ.\u00a0 We’ll see how I do on the glucose test in a day or two, I think.\u00a0 The regular portion of the appt went well, though. Baby appears to be head-down and facing inwards, and my blood pressure was good and urine checked out OK.\u00a0 We’re already to the time when I start to go in every 2 weeks.\u00a0 Time is flying by!\u00a0 And now with Thanksgiving over and heading into Christmas, it’s just going to go faster and faster.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Weight gain?<\/strong><\/div>\n
We didn’t weight at this appt since today was the first day of the midwives seeing clients in the new building (which is right next door to the original building) but they didn’t have quite everything moved over yet.\u00a0 So…I was spared the scale this time!\u00a0 (I’ll probably weigh myself tomorrow or the next day…after that massive breakfast wears off, that is!)\u00a0 Update:\u00a0 I’m still at just 20 lbs up from my pre-pregnancy weight.\u00a0 Holding steady for a bit I guess, which is nice since I got to the 20 lb mark quickly!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What do I miss?\u00a0 What am I looking forward to?
\n<\/strong><\/div>\n
Right now, I just want to feel better.\u00a0 And I’ looking forward to wrapping some Christmas presents!\u00a0 One of the many bummers about family being so spread out at Christmas is that so many Christmas presents are bought online and shipped, so I miss out on getting to wrap them up all nicely.\u00a0 So I’ve got to enjoy the ones I do get to do.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Preparedness?<\/strong><\/div>\n

NOTHING.\u00a0 I’m procrastinating.<\/p>\n

Highlights of the week?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Getting U’s picture taken with Santa.\u00a0 That was pretty darn cute.<\/p>\n

Belly pic:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here’s a candid one from Thanksgiving…technically I was 28 weeks, but it was close enough to the midway point to count for both!<\/p>\n
