Oh, Week 29...

29 Weeks

Photo Disclaimer: I turned 30 weeks on the 4th of July when I took the bikini pics. So technically my belly may be a little bigger. BUT I always take pictures later in my week rather than earlier. So, Enjoy :)

So I just want to preface this weeks update by saying that week 29 has been the roughest week of my pregnancy by far! I don't mean to sounds like a crying, complaining biotch, I'm just being honest. And I can only imagine how the next few weeks will be... #Terrified lol

How far along: 29 weeks! :D

Gender: All Boy!

Weight gain: 19 lbs gained. At 136. Started 117lbs. (FML)

Maternity clothes: Mix & match. But I will tell you that I HATE the elastic on belly bands, and hate ANYTHING tight or elastic touching my belly. Don't care how soft it is, it's beyond UNcomfortable for me! If I could just wear belly tops or sports bras with basketball short, I would.

Stretch marks: None yet! Using oils twice daily.

Belly button in or out: In, on its way out! Slowly but surely.

Sleep: Sleep this week is HORRIBLE! By the end of the day I am exhausted, and my belly is so sore & achey. It hurts to toss & turn, it's SO uncomfortable to get in & out of bed to pee at least 2 times per night. I also have contractions every night now. And when I do sleep, I have crazy dreams & nightmares. SO miserable. I slept sooo well up until this week... :'( I partially blame my iron supplements & miss an anemic's good night sleep.
Best moment this week: For sure seeing Cal on 3D Ultrasound! It was so amazing! I couldn't love him more! So excited that he seems to be a mini Eric. Melt my heart... We also finished the curtains & ceiling fan in the nursery! We are pretty much done! :D Just need out dresser & our baby!
Movement: SO much movement! They're stronger & more defined now. I hold my belly 24/7 & soak it all up. Eric FINALLY got to feel his little heel drag across his hand in a long motion & he freaked out! Lol I love it.

Cravings: Sweets :'( Worst cravings ever... I think I do amazing at not eating shitty! But obviously some days are better than others.

Queasy or sick: No real sickness or nausea. Just exhausted, sore all over, especially my poor feet. Still taking my iron supplement twice a day like a good prego. NASTY.

Symptoms: Being my toughest week, my achey, painful, sore belly has been my biggest symptom. I have no idea how I will get any bigger. Contractions off & on during the day, for sure more at night. Still nasty acid reflux at any time for any reason. And I don't think I've mentioned it before but I also have horrible tailbone pain that is horrendous when I sit &/or go from sitting to standing. Aaaand rib pain! Big shocker :)

Looking forward to: The dresser finally showing up so Cal's room can be complete! That's the final piece then I can hang pictures & be DONE!!! Also in the process of booking maternity shoots!

FEARS: Hmmm well for a split second I was fearful he looked nothing like me! Lol But that's okay! Now I'm scared of how much bigger I will get & that time is going to go by vvvvery slowly until he gets here... This summer heat here in Cali is outrageous! 106 degrees is unacceptable prego weather and summer is just getting started! I need a second job just to pay for my PG&E bill. RIP OFF!

FML: New category because this week I, accidentally threw away my car keys in the trash can! Left my visa at babies r us for a week! Aaaand threw away the coffee maker pieces without thinking twice. I'm out of control!

So thankful I survived week 29 without tears or doctors visits. Proud prego!:) I know I sound like an ass, but growing another human is no joke! And even though I have daily challenges, I wouldn't change it for the world. Feeling him move makes every second worth it. Beyond excited to meet this little man I have been making to perfection :)
